Summary
Acute plastic fractures in children present unique challenges. These injuries, characterized by bowing deformity without visible fracture lines, require careful management to avoid complications.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Orthopedics
- Pediatric Radiology
- Trauma Surgery
Background:
- Acute plastic fractures are incomplete bone fractures common in pediatric long bones.
- These fractures often present with a characteristic bowing deformity.
- Radiographic identification can be challenging due to the absence of distinct fracture lines.
