Combined fracture of the distal radius and scaphoid in children. Report of 2 cases.

The authors report 2 cases of concomitant scaphoid and distal radial fractures, a rare combination of lesions in children. The first case was in a 13-year-old boy who presented a transverse midscaphoid fracture associated with a Salter type II distal radial fracture. The second concerned a 10-year-old boy who presented a bilateral wrist injury.

[Juxtacortical osteosarcoma of the radius in a child].

The authors report a rare case of juxtacortical osteosarcoma of the radius in a child. The diagnosis and treatment were delayed because of misleading and wrongly reassuring radiological and histological aspects. The 12-year-old boy was admitted for a tumefaction of the proximal extremity of the right radius noticed after trauma.
