Liu Y, Liu C, Guo D, et al. - Researchers conducted a retrospective study to examine the impact of overweight on the outcome of conservative treatment for distal radius fractures in children. From January 2015 to May 2020, children with closed displaced distal metaphyseal radius fractures in the hospital were analyzed. A total of 142 children were involved in this investigation. Overweight/obesity, an associated ulnar fracture, and a three-point index of ≥ 0.40 were the three risk factors associated with the incidence of redisplacement. Overweight raises the risk of reduction failure and lowers the reduction effect. In the current study, overweight children were twice as likely as normal-weight children to develop redisplacement. As a result, children who are overweight may benefit from stricter clinical follow-up and, possibly, a lower threshold for surgical intervention.
