1. The document discusses common injuries to the bones and joints of the wrist, forearm, elbow, including fractures such as Colles fractures, Smith fractures, Barton fractures, as well as dislocations like radial head dislocations. 2. Treatment options for fractures include closed reduction, casting, splinting, or open reduction and internal fixation depending on the degree of displacement and stability. 3. Elbow injuries in children require prompt recognition and treatment of potential complications including neurovascular injury, compartment syndrome, and malunion.

Editor's Notes
- a)DiBenedetto et al.: A and B 2 points bisecting radius 4 and 8 cm proximal to radiocarpal joint to make line X. Line Y is drawn through C, which is distal sigmoid notch, and D, which is the tip of the radial styloid. Z is drawn perpendicular to line X through point C. Radial inclination angle between lines Z and Y. E is a point on line Z to allow radial height to be measured between D and E. Radial inclination angle is 22° ± 3° b)Matashita, Firrel, and Tsai. This method is a modification of that of DiBenedetto et al., in which the central axis (X) of the ulna is drawn through midpoints A and B at 2 cm and 4-5 cm proximal to the distal end of the ulna.
