What is a Buckle Fracture?
Children’s bones are softer than adults and are therefore more likely to bend rather than break following an impact. This can result in a bulge in the bone instead of a complete break – called a buckle fracture. Buckle fractures, also known as Torus fractures, are extremely common injuries in children. They heal very well and quickly, with low risk of further injury.
