Kindliche Unterarmfrakturen bei Sport- und Freizeitunf?llen

摘要

Forearm fractures are very common injuries during growth. In recent years popular sport activities like inline-skating and skateboarding have gained increasing importance as cause of accident. Despite increasing injury rates there are only a few studies describing the correlation between the mechanism of accident and the resulting pattern of injury. The aim of the present study was therefore to analyse the epidemiology and aetiology of forearm fractures in immature patients. Additionally the outcome of treatment was evaluated by clinical parameters.
