Functional-Conservative Treatment of Extra-articular Physeal Fractures of the Proximal Phalanges in Children and Adolescents

Abstract

Well-reduced extra-articular physeal fractures of the proximal phalanges can be effectively treated using functional-conservative casts. Although children may need a functional forearm cast, a LuCa is adequate in compliant adolescents.Level of Evidence The level of evidence for the study is Level II (therapeutic studies).
