The significance of associated lesions including dislocation in fractures of the neck of the radius in children.
A series consisting of 29 children with markedly dislocated fractures of the neck of the radius has been analysed. The method of measuring the angular dislocation is discussed. A true dislocation not exceeding 30 degrees may be left unreduced. Associated skeletal lesions of the elbow imply a less favourable prognosis.
