Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter › peer-review

Abstract

Fall on outstretched hand (FOOSH) injuries are common in pediatric and adult patients. FOOSH injuries affect the upper extremities, including the hand, wrist, forearm, elbow, upper arm, and shoulder. Clavicle fractures are the most common pediatric fractures following a FOOSH injury. Supracondylar humerus fractures are the most common elbow fractures in pediatric patients following a FOOSH injury. The scaphoid is the most common carpal bone fractured in a FOOSH injury. Proper identification and treatment of these injuries are important for good patient outcomes.
