Video Summary
A nine-year-old female sustained a buccal fracture of the distal ulnar diaphysis following a trampoline accident. Buccal fractures are incomplete fractures typically occurring in children aged 5 to 10 due to their bone elasticity, characterized by a cortex bulge from trabecular compression. While not commonly used, an ultrasound in this case verified the fracture by revealing cortical irregularities. Radiographs showed buckling in both the distal radial and ulnar diaphyses. Buccal fractures result from axial loading forces and may present without clear fracture lines, showing only cortex buckling.
