Pediatric both bone fractures are usually caused by indirect forces, such as falling on the out stretched hand. Fractures are commonly treated conservatively, but this process requires caution in order to prevent displacement of fracture, rotation deformities, compartment syndrome, and other complications.
In this paper, we report our experience of a case of flexion contracture of the right middle, ring, and little fingers after reduction of pediatric both bone fractures of the forearm.
Immidiately after extension limitation of the digits on the hand of the involved limb with both bone fractures is found, the possibility of compartment syndrome must of course be considered, as well as the possibility of muscle fibers entrapment in ulnar shaft fractures.
