To determine whether closed treatment of both-bone midshaft forearm fractures routinely results in acceptable clinical outcome for children less than 16 years of age, we retrospectively studied all such patients treated at our two hospitals between 1970 and 1982. All children less than 10 years of age at the time of fracture had excellent results. Of 14 patients between the ages of 10 and 16 years, closed treatment failed in nine. We conclude that the incidence of poor results from closed treatment of the fractures in children greater than 10 years of age is seriously underestimated.
为了确定闭合治疗双骨干前臂中段骨折对16岁以下儿童是否通常能产生可接受的临床结果，我们回顾性研究了1970年至1982年间在我们两家医院接受此类治疗的所有患者。所有骨折时年龄小于10岁的儿童都取得了优异的结果。在14名年龄在10至16岁之间的患者中，9例闭合治疗失败。我们得出结论，10岁以上儿童骨折闭合治疗效果不佳的发生率被严重低估了。
