A pretzel fracture is a type of injury typically seen in the context of pediatric bone fractures, characterized by a specific pattern resembling the twisted shape of a pretzel. It usually occurs in long bones, often due to a combination of bending and torsional forces. This term is more common in discussions about fractures in children, as their bones are more pliable and can sustain such unique patterns of injury. Treatment usually involves realignment and immobilization to ensure proper healing.
