Abstract

Background and Objectives: The Forearm fractures are common among children and usually managed differently comparing with other similar injuries in adults. The aim of this study was to identify the risk factors of forearm fractures in children. Materials and Methods: In this clinical trial study, 86 patients randomly were divided into two groups: group A (treated with a long arm cast method) and group B (treated with Sugar-Tong splint method). The risk factors of distal radial fractures were evaluated. Results: Eighty six children less than 15 years with the mean age of 12.24±2.24 years old were studied. The compared with a true transverse fracture, the 10°,20°, and 30° of obliquity increased the likelihood of redisplacement 3.23, 5.82 ,12.14 times, respectively. Conclusion: The complete initial displacements of the fracture and increases obliquity of the fracture line are the most important risk factors for redisplacement.
