Pediatrics - Radius Fracture (Distal)
Caption
7 year old fallen off monkey bars. Tender over right distal radius with mild swelling. POCUS reveals a discontinuity in the hyperechoic cortex of the child's distal radius with minimal displacement. This is suggestive of a buckle fracture or minimally displaced distal radius fracture. Dr. Sathya Subramaniam, Pediatric EM Fellow - Kings County/SUNY Downstate
