Can an adult have a buckle fracture?

Although buckle fractures are a common type of pediatric fracture, an adult can get a buckle fracture as well. Basically, a buckle fracture occurs when there is plastic deformation (basically bending leading to compression of the cortex, or outer surface of bone) and a complete fracture of the cortex in the transition area of metaphyseal bone to diaphyseal bone (area where woven bone meets up with sheet-like bone). This happens more often in children because their bones are not mature and the transition area is not as strong as that of a skeletally mature adult. However, the biomechanic characteristics of the transition region can predispose to local failure with a resultant buckle or torus fracture, rather than a transverse fracture, in either children or adults. It just happens much more commonly in kiddos!
