Description
Jerome and colleagues in Tamil Nadu pooled the evidence on treating children's broken wrists, the commonest pediatric fracture. Forty-five studies covering five thousand three hundred forty children entered the review. Twelve comparative studies fed the meta-analysis directly. The team split metaphyseal breaks from growth-plate injuries throughout.
Casts alone let twenty to thirty-five percent of metaphyseal breaks slip, versus almost none with added wires. Healing was near universal and long-term function equal either way. Children under eleven remodeled even fully shifted breaks without surgery. Jerome holds wire fixation for genuinely unstable patterns.
