• 1 other identifier: KEK-BE: 2016-00670
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 179

• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

The aim of this project is to evaluate retrospectively goalkeeper's fractures in children using the children fracture classification and to evaluate the distal radius tilt angle of the growth plate on plain radiographs of the forearm. Patients positive for goalkeeper's fracture will prospectively answer a questionnaire concerning risk factors and circumstances during the injury.

Conditions

Radius Fractures

Keywords

goalkeeper's fracture

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Tilt angle of distal radius growth plate in goalkeeper's fracture

  Dorsal angulation of distal radius growth plate in goalkeeper's fracture

  2005- 2016

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Risk factors for goalkeeper's fracture

  2005-2016

Study Arms (2)

Radius tilt angle

Children 0-16 years of age positive for distal forearm fracture and positive history of goalkeeper's fracture (to catch a ball).

Other: Radius tilt angle

Normal control group

Children 0-16 years of age without radius fracture and no history of catching a ball.

Other: Radius tilt angle

Interventions

Radius tilt angle OTHER

Fracture classification in children. Tilt angle measurement of the distal radius growth plate.

Normal control group; Radius tilt angle

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 1 Year - 16 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Child (0-17)

Study Population

Distal radius fracture in young goalkeepers (=young goalkeeper's fracture)

You may qualify if:

• Children 1-16 years of age with distal radius fracture and the clinical history: "child catches a ball", between 1/2005 - 7/2016.
• Control group (1-16 years) with normal distal radius and no history to catch a ball and no fracture.
• Evaluation of the normal distal tilt angle of the radius.

You may not qualify if:

• pathological fractures
• other history of trauma than to catch a ball
• patients older than 16 years
