Abstract: There has been varying and divergent methods in the treatment of paediatric and
adult wrist fractures. Current opinion and evidence suggest that in paediatric torus
distal radius fractures, management with splinting is as comparable a method of
treatment to the traditional plaster or Paris (POP) casting. This is a retrospective
look at the safety of using the EXOS® thermoplastic (TP) splint to treat wrist
fractures
