Radial Neck Fracture - Paediatric

This X-ray demonstrates a radial neck fracture in an 8-year-old child, visible on both AP and lateral views of the elbow. The fracture occurs at the junction of the radial head and radial shaft, with angulation of the radial head relative to the shaft. In paediatric patients, the radial head is largely cartilaginous and ossifies later, making careful evaluation of alignment essential.
