Above- or below-elbow casts for distal third forearm fractures in children? A meta-analysis of the literature.

Fractures of the distal third forearm are common fractures in childhood. Most of these fractures can be treated non-operatively by means of closed reduction and immobilization. The purpose of this meta-analysis is to investigate whether above- or below-elbow cast should be considered the first-choice for conservative treatment.  Hendrickx RP, Campo MM, van Lieshout AP, Struijs PA, van den Bekerom MP.
