ABSTRACT

The remodeling phase in the consolidation of the fractures in children, has received little attention in the recent literature. In a study carried out in the Children’s Hospital in Morelia, México from January 2001 to December 2006, the authors report a group of 60 patients treated conservatively for a middle or distal third forearm fracture with angulation of up to 45°. At 6 years minimum follow-up, the bones have acquired their original form. The clinical and radiographic results were very good in all 60 patients.
