AI Article Synopsis
- - Pediatric carpal fractures, particularly non-scaphoid ones, are uncommon and can be hard to diagnose; this paper reviews existing literature and presents a case of a 12-year-old boy with a lunate fracture.
- - There is no agreement on the best way to treat these fractures, largely due to the limited number of cases reported in the literature.
- - The study highlights the importance of extended follow-up for pediatric carpal fractures to identify delayed complications and functional issues, particularly in defining what constitutes delayed union.
Article Abstract
Pediatric carpal fractures are rare and often difficult to detect. This paper reviews the current literature on pediatric non-scaphoid carpal fractures, with a case report of a lunate fracture associated with a distal radius and ulnar styloid fracture, managed nonoperatively in a 12-year-old boy. There is lack of consensus regarding the management of these fractures due to the low number of reported cases. A frequent lack of long-term follow-up limits our understanding of the outcomes, but good outcomes have been reported for both nonoperative and operative management. This case report brings attention to the current time period for the definition of delayed union in pediatric carpal fractures, and emphasizes the need for prolonged follow-up for the detection of delayed complications leading to functional impairment.

Vascularized bone grafts have been successfully established for complex bone defects. The integration of three-dimensional (3D) simulation and printing technology may aid in more precise surgical planning and intraoperative bone shaping. The purpose of the present study was to describe the implementation and surgical application of this innovative technology for bone reconstruction.
