What is a buckle fracture?
A buckle fracture is a type of break to the bone, where the bone has been squashed. Children’s bones are softer than adult bones and are more likely to squash rather than break after an impact. This can result in a bulge in the bone rather than a complete break.

This injury is treated like a sprain and will not cause any long-term problems.
