Background summary
In treating forearmfractures in children with an angular deformation, different
treatment regimes can be followed. The angular deformity can be repositioned
and the anatomical alignment can afterwards be treated with a cast. Also
possible is accepting the angular deformity, while children have the unique
possibility of reangulating a fracture during their growth years and treat the
forearm fracture with a cast.
With a prospective study we would like to show in what degree and time the
juvenile skeleton is able to reangulate to the anatomical position of perfect
alignment.
Study objective
Regaining insight in the re-angulating capacity of angular deformities in
forearm fractures of the juvenile bone. Thereby making use of radiologic,
clinical and functional parameters.
Study design
Prospective descriptive study with a 2 year follow-up.
Study burden and risks
Risks associated with cast treatment are similar with conventional treatment.
There might be a cosmetic related problem with the time reangulation takes.
