Direct Discharge is non-inferior to traditional treatment in terms of treatment satisfaction for paediatric patients with greenstick or torus fractures of the wrist compared to children treated with rigid immobilisation and routine follow-up. Furthermore, the results demonstrate no complications, comparable functional outcomes, and a statistically significant reduction of secondary healthcare utilisation, making DD a good solution to cope with strained resources for children with an isolated greenstick fracture or torus fracture of the wrist.
