Navigating Challenges and Treatment Options in Diaphyseal Forearm Fractures Among Adolescents: Case Series and Narrative Review.

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we recount the medical trajectories of two male patients, both fourteen years of age, who sustained re-fractures of their radius and ulna six months post their primary diaphyseal fractures. Owing to the limited capacity for growth of the forearm bones between the ages of ten to sixteen years, many queries are engendered concerning apt treatment strategies. The pressing questions are whether these should be conservative or surgical and the precise method to be employed in surgical interventions. This discourse endeavors to demarcate preferred therapeutic options and shed light on a series of standard clinical dilemmas physicians encounter, along with an exhaustive scrutiny of existing literature.
