title: [Fractures of the upper part of the radius in children].
abstract: The authors analyse the results of forty five cases of fractures of proximal radius in children with average follow up 7 years. The average age of the children was 9 years. Detailed radiological examination warrants classification under four degrees of displacement (four cases displaced, 17 cases lower 30 degrees, 15 cases between 30 degrees and 60 degrees, 9 cases upper 60 degrees). Associated lesions was present in 15 cases. For treatment, 21 immobilisations, 10 closes reductions, 6 percutaneous reduction by means of a kirshner nail, 8 open reduction were done. Pronostic is good for degrees I and II (20 excellent, 1 good result), pronostic is incertain for degrees III and IV (13 excellent, 2 good, 3 fair and poor results). Correlation is straight between procedure of management and result. The authors suggest their indications, who are depending from age and displacement.
