Boys acquired DRFs more often than girls, with a peak age of 12 years. ConclusionĬasting only was the preferred treatment for all fractures (76%). Odds ratio (OR) for a K-wire fixation in girls vs. In total, 25,777 patients were included, 7,173 (27%) with complete fractures. Sex, age, type of DRF, treatment, cause and mechanism of injury, were analyzed. In this retrospective study, based on data from SFR for children aged 5–12 years with DRF between January 2015 and October 2022, we investigated epidemiology and choice of treatment. The purpose of this study was to investigate epidemiology and treatment of pediatric DRFs registered in the Swedish Fracture Register (SFR). There is no recent study regarding pediatric DRFs and the extent of K-wire fixations in the Swedish population. However, recent studies have indicated that casting can be sufficient, at least for children with two or more years left to grow. Kirschner wire (K-wire) fixation has been recommended, to avoid the risk of redislocation. There is no clear consensus on primary treatment for complete DRFs. Distal radius fracture (DRF) is the most common type of fracture in children.
