First seen Apr 01, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 9 times

Summary

This study compares two treatments for a specific type of wrist fracture in children under 11. One method uses a cast with finger-trap traction (no manual bone setting), while the other involves surgery to pin the bones back in place. The goal is to see which approach leads to better wrist movement and less pain. About 60 children will take part.
