(a, b) Anteroposterior and lateral radiographs of the left wrist showing Salter-Harris type 2 fracture of the distal radius, with minimal dorsal displacement and a small line on the ulna suggestive for an ulnar fissure.

Initial X-rays showed a Salter-Harris type 2 fracture of the distal radius, with minimal dorsal displacement and a small line on the ulna suggestive for an ulnar fissure (Figures 1(a) and 1(b)).
Anteroposterior radiograph showing complete consolidation and three well-circumscribed lucent lesions in the cortex, proximal to the previous fracture site.

However, it also revealed the three well-circumscribed lucent lesions in the cortex, proximal to the earlier fracture site (Figure 2).

(a, b) Anteroposterior and lateral radiographs of the left wrist distal forearm fracture showing a Salter-Harris type 2 fracture of the distal radius and a greenstick fracture of the distal ulna.

Salter-Harris type 2 fracture of the distal radius and a greenstick fracture of the distal ulna (Figures 3(a) and 3(b)). She was treated conservatively with a below-elbow cast for four weeks.
(a) Radiograph showing complete bone healing of the fracture. Two well-circumscribed lucent lesions in the cortex proximal to the previously fractured region. (b) Radiograph showing the lucent lesions fading away.

The images not only showed consolidation of the fracture but also revealed two well-circumscribed lucent lesions in the cortex proximal to the previously fractured region (Figure 4(a)). She was seen for follow-up once more after six months at which point accompanying X-rays showed a decrease of the lucent lesions (Figure 4(b)).
