A total of 285 children out of an 8 year period with fractures of the forearm were studied. Of these 175 (62.2%) had a fracture of the distal radius and 51 (18.2%) had a fracture of the distal forearm and there were 42 (14.7%) fractures in the middle or proximal third in this region. Three children with injuries of the distal radial epiphysis had to be treated by percutaneous wire fixation. Except for 2 cases who needed surgery all severe dislocated forearm fractures could be treated by closed reduction. In all cases the children were immobilized with a long upper arm cast for 3 to 4 weeks. Follow-up examinations up to 6 years after injury showed excellent results in distal forearm and distal radial fractures whereas results were only satisfactory in midshaft forearm fractures.
