Image Greenstick.jpg thumb Greenstick fracture on X ray. File Bucklefracture.png thumb A buckle fracture of the distal radius. A greenstick , buckle or torus fracture is a Bonefracturefracture in a young, soft bone in which the bone bends and partially breaks. This is owing in large part to the thick fiborous periosteum of immature bone. A person s bones become harder calcified and more brittle with age and the periosteum becomes thinner and less restrictive. Greenstick fractures usually occur most often during infancy and childhood when bones are soft. The name is by analogy with green i.e., fresh wood which similarly breaks on the outside when bent. It was discovered by British American orthopedist, John Insall , and Polish American orthopedist, Michael Slupecki. There are three basic forms of greenstick fracture. In the first a transverse fracture occurs in the cortex, extends into the midportion of the bone and becomes oriented along the longitudinal axis of the bone without disrupting the opposite cortex. The second form is a torus or buckling fracture, caused by impaction. The third is a bow fracture in which the bone becomes curved along its longitudinal axis.

It can be caused by falling onto an outstretched hand. Treatment is often open reduction and internal fixation , which is surgical realignment of the bone fragments and fixation with pins, screws, or plates. The name originates from early chauffeur s who sustained these injuries when the car back fired while the chauffeur was hand cranking to start the car.
