Resumo

PURPOSE OF THE STUDYThe presented study was construed as a retrospective multicentric clinical study focused on paediatric skeletal injuries of the proximal radius.As a general rule, the Type I displaced fractures (Judet classification) are treated conservatively, with no reduction.In the case of Type II-IV displacement, the fracture necessitates reduction or is also transfixed by a Kirschner wire (K-wire) or a Prevot nail (P-nail) where subsequent fragment instability occurs.The comparison aimed to ascertain whether there is a statistically significant difference between the two methods.No difference was expected by the authors, therefore a null hypothesis was set.
