Abstract:
There are no published case series of nonunion of distal radius fractures in healthy children because of the rarity of its occurrence. We searched for all reported cases of this condition in Pubmed, Google scholar, and SCOPUS. We found three series, which included one previously reported by our group. The aim of the present study was to define the predisposing factors leading to nonunion after treatment of distal radius fractures in healthy children. We also aimed to emphasize that nonunion should be included in the list of complications of distal radius fractures in children and be mentioned in the textbook of pediatric trauma.

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...
