Case Discussion
Torus fracture (also known as buckle fracture) is an incomplete fracture, most commonly occurring in the paediatric age group. This is due to a compressive force acting along the long axis of bone. It most commonly occurs in the distal radial metaphysis following a fall on an outstretched hand.
