A Torus fracture, also known as a buckle fracture is the most common fracture in children.[1] It is a common occurrence following a fall, as the wrist absorbs most of the impact and compresses the bony cortex on one side and remains intact on the other, creating a bulging effect.[2] As the bulge is only on one side of the bone, this injury can be classified as an incomplete fracture. The compressive force is provided by the trabeculae and is longitudinal to the axis of the long bone, meaning that the fracture itself is orthogonal to that axis.[3] The word "torus" originates from the Latin word "protuberance."[4]
