Acute Bilateral Salter-Harris II Distal Radii Fractures in a Skeletally Immature Athlete

Distal radius fractures are a common location of physeal injuries in skeletally immature adolescents. However, reports of athletics-related acute bilateral distal radius physeal injuries are rare. Therefore, there is a need for further literature to demonstrate both the early recognition and prevent...

description Distal radius fractures are a common location of physeal injuries in skeletally immature adolescents. However, reports of athletics-related acute bilateral distal radius physeal injuries are rare. Therefore, there is a need for further literature to demonstrate both the early recognition and prevention of these injuries to ensure young athletes are able to safely train and compete. We present the case of acute bilateral Salter-Harris II distal radii fractures in a 14-year-old athlete during participation in a high-energy impact sport.
