Pediatric ankle and wrist fractures are very common injuries encountered by orthopedic departments. The National Institute of Clinical Excellence has published guidelines that should be adhered to when treating these common fractures. This audit included 560 patients that have sustained wrist and ankle fractures between 2008 and 2019 at Queen Elizabeth Hospital Burton (QHB) that required surgical management. The results show that 99.7% (478/479) wrist fractures and 70.8% (57/81) of ankle fractures received surgical management within the timeframe outlined by NICE. This audit has shown that QHB has been successfully treating wrist fractures within the guidelines set by NICE but has failed to meet the standards for ankle fractures.
小儿踝关节和腕部骨折是骨科常见的损伤。国家临床优化研究所已发布了治疗这些常见骨折时应遵循的指南。本次审核纳入了2008年至2019年期间在伯顿伊丽莎白女王医院（QHB）发生腕部和踝部骨折且需要手术治疗的560例患者。结果显示，99.7%（478/479）的腕部骨折和70.8%（57/81）的踝部骨折在国家临床优化研究所规定的时间范围内接受了手术治疗。本次审核表明，QHB一直在按照国家临床优化研究所设定的指南成功治疗腕部骨折，但未达到踝部骨折的治疗标准。
