Buckle or torus fractures in the distal forearm are characterized by a bulging of the cortical bone. They are a frequent reason for consultation in pediatric emergencies. The treatment and follow-up of this type of fractures varies from soft immobilizations to a plaster cast. ⋯ None of these fractures displaced further, regardless of the treatment given. Buckle or torus fractures do not need follow-up radiographs. As they are stable, the simpler immobilization treatment is sufficient.
