Physical activities or sports such as bike riding or climbing increase the associated risk for buckle fractures in the potential event of a collision or fall. As aforementioned, the most common buckle fracture is of the distal radius in the forearm, which typically originates from a Fall Onto an Outstretched Hand (FOOSH). Such orthopaedic injuries are distinctive in children as their bones are softer and in a dynamic state of bone growth and development, with a higher collagen to bone ratio so incomplete fractures such as the buckle fracture are a more common occurrence.
