Torus Fracture

Etiology: Trauma causing series of microfractures resulting in incomplete nondisplaced fracture
Imaging Radiograph:
— In forearm and lower leg
— No obvious fracture line
— See bump or buckle in cortical surface but is a fracture through both cortical surfaces
— Tibial torus fractures most commonly occur at the proximal metadiaphysis and may be best seen on lateral

Radiology Cases of Torus Fracture

Radiograph of torus fracture — AP (left) and lateral (right) radiographs of the wrist show cortical irregularities along the medial and lateral borders of the radius and along the lateral and posterior borders of the ulna.

Radiograph of torus fractures of radius and ulna — AP (left), oblique (middle) and lateral (right) radiographs of the wrist show prominent buckling of the distal radius. There is also mild buckling of the distal ulna.
