EXAMINATION: RIGHT WRIST (2V)
73110 -12107/2001
COMMENTS: INDICATION: Trauma.
There are distal diaphyseal fractures of the radius and ulna. These occur about 2.5cm proximal to the
growth plate. The fractures run transversely. As seen on the lateral view there is some impaction and infolding of the
cortical bone anteriorly at both fracture sites. There is a questionable metaphyseal fracture from the lateral corner of the
distal radius consistent with a Salter (Il} and a very questionable linear fracture on the medial side of the distal radius which
extends into the growth plate. There is no widening of the radial physis or displacement to the radial epiphysis. The ulnar
epiphysis is in normal positron. The carpal bones are anatomic.
CONCLUSION:,-Fractured distal radius and ulnar diaphyses with questionable nondeforming Salter (li} fracture distal radial
rnetaphysis.

I3/O1 OFFICE ZIISIT: This is a 9-year-old female who was injured in a motor vehicle
accident on December 7th. She was seen at Holy Spirit Hospital, x-rays were
taken at that institution and apparently a P.A. in the emergency room applied
a short arm cast on her right upper extremity. She was a passenger in the
car in the back seat with the seatbelt on where she stopped her momentum with
her hands against the back of the front seat injuring her right wrist. She
denied any other injuries. Her x-rays from Holy Spirit were reviewed and a
new set was taken to make sure that she was in satisfactory position after
the cast and after a week. These look satisfactory as well with a minimally
angulated impacted-type fracture of the distal radius and ulna. Neurovascular
status was intact. The cast was in good shape. Elbow range of motion is good
as were the fingers. She was given cast instructions and instructions about
activities. I told her that she needed to have the cast on approximately
another 2 weeks for a total of 3. We will see her at that time for cast off
and x-ray and further instructions, sooner if needed. AJM/kas

U*Final Report-.-
EXAMINATION: RIGHT WRIST (2V)
73110 -12/07/2001
COMMENTS: INDICATION: Trauma.
There are distal diaphyseal fractures of the radius and ulna. These occur about2.5cm proximal to the
growth plate. The fractures run transversely. As seen on the lateral view there is some impaction and infolding of the
cortical bone anteriorly at both fracture sites. There is a questionable metaphyseal fracture from the lateral corner of the
distal radius consistent with a Salter (II) and a very questionable linear fracture on the medial side of the distal radius which
extends into the growth plate. There is no widening of the radial physis or displacement to the radial epiphysis. The ulnar
epiphysis is in normal position. The carpal bones are anatomic.
CONCLUSION:, Fractured distal radius and ulnar diaphyses with questionable non deforming Salter (II) fracture distal radial
metaphysis.

ALLAN J. MIRA, M.D.
Name BARCAVAGK, KIERSTIN L.
DOB: 12/8/92
13/01 OFFICE VISIT: This is a 9-year-01d female who was injured in a motor vehicle
accident on December 7th. She was seen at Holy Spirit Hospital, x-rays were
taken at that institution and apparently a P~A. in the emergency room applied
a short. arm cast on her right upper extremity. She was a passenger in the
car in the back seat with the seatbelt on where she stopped her momentum with
her hands against the back of the front seat injuring her right wrist. She
denied any other injuries. Her x-rays from Holy Spirit were revie.,ved and a
new set was taken to make sure that she was in satisfactory position after
the cast and after a week. These look satisfactory as well with a minimally
angulated impacted-type fracture of the distal radius and ulna. Neurovascular
status was intact. The cast was in good shape~ Elbow range of motion is good
as were the fingers~ She was given cast instructions and instructions about
activities. I told her that she needed to have the cast on approximately
another 2 weeks for a total of 3. We will see her at that time for cast off
and x-ray and further instructions, sooner if needed. AJM/kas

HISTORY: Fracture follow-up.
Since 13 December 2001, the cast 1as been removed. There is
increasing sclerosis and callus a: the fracture site indicating
healing. On the lateral view, th,re is slight lucency in some
of the volar callus which would rlise the possibility of motion.
IMPRESSION:
Healing fractures. However, ther, may be some motion at the
radial fracture site as there is :ome lucency through the
callus.
