Over a period of 5 years, 65 children under 12 years of age were diagnosed as having "wrist sprain" at the American University of Beirut Medical Center, Emergency Department. Thirty-eight children were reevaluated; 33 patients (86.8%) were diagnosed as having a Salter-Harris I fracture of the distal radius that necessitated further treatment to relieve symptoms and allow early wrist function. The diagnosis of "wrist sprain" is often inadequate in establishing a proper treatment regimen. Rather, by taking a careful history, performing an exacting examination, and utilizing appropriate diagnostic aids, an accurate diagnosis of wrist injury can be established.
