Īngular remodeling of midshaft forearm fractures in children. charnley noted that recurrent angulation is esp common in radial green stick frx with an intact ulna ĭorsally angulated solitary metaphyseal greenstick fractures in the distal radius: results after immobilization in pronated, neutral, and supinated position. recurrent angulation is more likely w/ volar rather than dorsal recurrent deformity w/in cast is number one problem w/ green stick frx in these green stick frxs, if the cortex is not completely broken thru, increasing deformity may occur even minimally angulated greenstick frx can angulate more in a cast so consider reduction if anguation exceeds 10 deg or more long arm cast is applied for a period of 4 to 6 weeks
long arm cast is applied after forearm gently rotated into supination following reduction, need 3 Point Molding to keep tension on intact periosteal hinge. during manipulation, deformity is reversed, so that the distal frag is angulated toward volar aspect until intact dorsal cortex is fractured a volarly angulated greenstick frx is manipulated w/ forearm in pronation while a dorsally angulated frx is manipulated w/ forearm in supination there is no need to attempt correction for angulation measuring < 10 deg in children less than 10 yrs of age up to 15 deg may be accepted depending on age of patient consider reduction w/ completion of frx by reversal of deformity if angulation > 25-30 deg these do not require reduction if dorsal angulation is insignificant overcorrection of fracture may be required (completing the fracture) green stick frxs of mid 1/3 of radius & ulna: w/ "isolated" ulnar shaft green stick frx, always check for radial head tenderness, which would indicate a Monteggia frx eqivalent, in which there has been spontaneous reduction of the radial head when only 1 bone of forearm is broken, integrity of the proximal & & distal radioulnar joints needs to be evaluated
volar fracture sustained with forearm in supination dorsal fracture sustained with forearm in pronation may be dorsal, volar, or toward or away from interosseous membrane note that the normal ulna should have a completely straight posterior border on the lateral radiograph
incomplete long bone frx, w/ failure of cortex on tension side (convex side of angulation) w/ plastic deformation of cortex on concave side Greenstick Fracture - StatPearls - NCBI Bookshelf The makeup, anatomy, and histology of the pediatric skeletal system is not just a smaller version of the adult form rather, it is unique in that it allows for rapid growth and change throughout development from childhood to adulthood. frx may be incomplete (greenstick) in radius and/or ulna, or the frx may be complete in one bone and incomplete (green stick) in the other Green Stick Frxs of Mid 1/3 of Radius & Ulna
