Abstract

Purpose of review: The treatment of many distal radius fractures has shifted from casting to splinting or the application of a soft dressing. This review includes a review of the types of pediatric distal radius fractures and the most recent literature on the management of these injuries.

Recent findings: Many nondisplaced distal radius fractures may be treated with removable splints or bandages. This mitigates complications with cast immobilization. Additionally, many of these injuries do not require follow-up treatment and thereby reduce healthcare costs.

Summary: This update on distal radius fractures in the pediatric population highlights changes in the treatment paradigm and demonstrates an opportunity to diminish healthcare costs.
