Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the use of plaster immobilization and selective Kirschner (K) wiring in treating displaced distal radius fractures in children.
- A total of 112 fractures were analyzed, most of which were incompletely displaced, with all managed through manipulation under anesthesia followed by plaster immobilization, and some receiving K-wire fixation.
- Results indicated significant improvement in fracture angulation after manipulation, with a low remanipulation rate; perfect reductions were noted in specific injury types, although the initial quality of reduction did not predict redisplacement.
