Torus Fracture



OrthopaedicsandTrauma.com asked Consultant Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgeon Gray Edwards regarding wrist fractures. Gray is a specialist in Upper Limb Trauma at the International Sports Injury Clinic in Bristol. He said they follow a fall on an outstretched hand (FOOSH). He told us about Torus Fractures of the wrist in children, with the image to the left as a good example, of the most times we use a brace like this rather than a plaster cast. He said: "I use these Universal Elastic Wrist splints in childern with Torus or Buckle fractures. (Davidson JS, Brown DJ, Barnes SN, Bruce CE. Simple treatment for torus fractures of the distal radius. J Bone Joint Surg Br. 2001 Nov;83(8):1173-5.).

"This treatment is limited to patients with single cortical injury only and with no significant displacement".

"The parents of the child have instructions to remove the splint after three weeks and return for review if symptoms persist".
