A New Reduction Technique for Completely Displaced Forearm and Wrist Fractures in Children: A Biomechanical Assessment and 4-year Clinical Evaluation.

Most pediatric distal radius fractures are treated with closed methods, however, in recent years an increasing number of fractures are treated with operative management. Multiple reduction techniques are described in the orthopaedic literature but no recent advances have been made in the closed management of these injuries. We describe the efficacy of new, single-provider manual reduction technique that improves reduction efficacy and we separately show its biomechanical superiority to other common techniques.
