Abstract:
Fractures of the proximal radius are among the most common fractures and account for 9% to 25% of the elbow fractures in children. However, bilateral radial neck fractures are extremely rare injuries in children and have been reported only once before in present English literature. We report a case of bilateral radial neck fractures in a 10-year-old girl resulting from a fall on outstretched hands. Careful physical examination and proper radiographs are necessary for the diagnosis. Early recognition, proper management, and physical therapy led to complete recovery and full functional movement of the elbows.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...

Assessment of radial pulse
The radial pulse, located at the wrist, is often the preferred site for assessing peripheral pulse because of its accessibility and dependability. The process of determining the radial pulse involves several steps:
Assessment of apical radial pulse
The A-R pulse assessment involves simultaneous evaluation of the apical and radial pulses. When the apical and radial pulse rates vary, this assessment helps identify a pulse deficit.
