Abstract

 A torus fracture (or buckle fracture) is an incomplete fracture of the long bones at the metaphysis and is characterised by bulging of the cortex. Surprisingly there is very little consensus on the ideal immobilization technique to be followed. The purpose of our study was to compare complications and resources requirements for plaster casts and plaster splints for distal forearm single bone buckle fractures in children. The study included data of 48 patients in three tertiary care centres. The rate of complications and the resource requirement was lower in the plaster slab group in comparison to the plaster cast group. Our study concluded that plaster splints for torus fractures in children are preferable to plaster casts.
