3 Tenderness over the distal radial metaphysis after wrist injury is strongly suggestive of a distal radius fracture despite normal plain radiographs and fluoroscopic images. Children and older adults have weaker long bones than young adults and are more likely to sustain a distal radius fracture after a FOOSH than a carpal bone injury.

Fracturing the larynx requires considerable force, and the great majority of fractures are from blunt high-velocity trauma. Is there an open neck wound or palpable cartilage fracture? Reconstructive computed tomography can assess the laryngeal framework to avoid missing laryngeal fracture and, hopefully, long-term comorbidities.
