Segmental forearm fractures are rare in children, and management is controversial. Epiphyseal injuries further complicate matters. We report the case of a 15-year-old boy who had segmental radius and ulna fractures with a coronal split of a metaphyseal fragment, along with bilateral epiphyseal fractures of the distal radius and ulna as well as ipsilateral scaphocapitate fractures with perilunate dislocation. There was also a contralateral fracture through the radial neck. The patient underwent immediate internal fixation of the forearm fractures and delayed fixation of the scaphocapitate fractures. Results at 12 months showed excellent functional outcome. |
