Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The patients will be followed in clinic with an examination and x-rays at 2, 3, 5, and 8 weeks after casting to evaluate alignment of the fracture maintained by each cast. The two cohorts will be compared at the end of the study to determine which casting technique is the superior immobilization for pediatric proximal half both bone forearm fractures.
