Official Title: Prospective Evaluation of Loss of Reduction and Cast Parameters Following Cast Bivalving for Pediatric Distal Radius Fractures

Brief Summary: Pediatric patients with distal radius fractures are most commonly treated non-operatively with fracture reduction and cast immobilization. In order to prevent complications from increased swelling after the injury (or fracture manipulation) casts may be split along their length to relieve pressure. However, this can compromise the casts' structural integrity, predisposing fractures to loss of reduction. The goal of this study was to investigate if cast bivalving, or splitting the cast longitudinally on both sides,…
