Angulation of the radius in children's fractures

JA Roberts

A study of 79 children with malunion of forearm fractures is presented. Age at the time of injury, the site of the fracture and the degree and direction of angulation at union were correlated with loss of forearm rotation at review 3.5 to 6 years later. Some guidelines are proposed for the acceptability of angular deformity at union, importance being placed on the avoidance of radial deviation of the radius, and the maintenance of the interosseous gap between the shafts of the radius and ulna.
