Description

We reviewed the clinical results and fracture profile of the diaphyseal refracture of the forearm (middle third of the shaft) in primary or junior high school students. From November 2003, 22 midshaft forearm fractures were treated at our hospital. Of these refractures had occured in six, and one had a second refracture. Excellent results were achieved by operative treatment in five patients. Refracture is thought to occur in ages older than 10, due to greenstick fracture which has not fully healed, residual angulation deformity, limitation of range of forearm supination and pronation, or return to sport activity too early. Care should be taken when treating greenstick fractures in higher grades.
