Maintained low complication rates
Supported continued use in pediatric care.

Abstract

Schede cast immobilization is a simple, safe, and effective method for retaining distal radius fractures in children. It reliably prevents secondary dislocation while maintaining low complication rates, supporting its continued use in pediatric trauma care.
