Buckle/Torus: Compression failure of cortex (metaphyseal) — stable; treat with short immobilization/splint. Plastic Bowing: Microfracture without discrete break; persistent deformity if not recognized and reduced. Greenstick: One cortex fails in tension, other intact — needs gentle completion or molding to correct alignment.
