Buckle fractures of the distal radius are unique to children. Immobilising the limb in a plaster cast is the traditional treatment. An alternative is to use a removable wrist splint and this has been adopted at the author's clinic. In this article, literature on the change of practice is reviewed, the change is described and the outcomes evaluated. It was found that treatment with the wrist splint was cost-effective and was preferred by children, families and carers.
