description

Distal radius fractures in the childhood are frequent and they are usually treated in a conservative fashion, although some cases need percutaneous pinning. A physeal bone bridge is an uncommon complication of K-wires insertion and it may provoke a severe deformity while growth potential remains. A 9-year-old boy with this complication is reported. He was successfully treated by physeal distraction, achieving a satisfactory correction of his deformity.
