Q. Which of the option best describes below injury?
a. Nightstick fracture
b. Greenstick fracture
c. Buckle / torus fracture
d. Plastic deformation
Answer-
b
Bending fractures with one cortex breach while other side intact are called greenstick fractures as in this case.
Nighstick fractures result from resisting a stick injury on forearm leading ti isolated ulna fracture.
Buckle or torus fracture usually involve metaphyseal region and buckling of periosteum is seen as mild elevation at injured site.
Plastic deformation is bending of bones without overt fractures and is found in pediatric bones. The correction is done by sustained force in opposite direction leading to correction.
