[Fractures of the forearm in children; operative treatment (author's transl)]. 1979

D Bonnemann, and M Weigert

The knowledge of the special characteristics of fractures in childhood determine the method of treatment. Within 2 1/2 years 162 fractures of the forearm were treated, 23 of them by open reposition. The specialities of the different anatomical regions and the best way of treatment are discussed. Conservative and operative methods complement each other to obtain the best result while the risk for the little patient is reduced.
