Predictors for losing reduction after reposition in conservatively treated both-bone forearm fractures in 38 children

摘要

Alignment loss after reduction and cast immobilisation of angulated and/or complete displaced forearm fractures is challenging. Many authors have tried to describe risk factors and create indices (initial angulation, initial complete displacement, lack of anatomic reduction, cast and padding index) in order to identify those fractures that are prone to losing their alignment during treatment.
