In this case report, we describe an eight-year-old boy with both-bone forearm diaphyseal fracture that was treated conservatively after closed reduction with manipulation. Nine months after the injury, he returned to consultation, presenting a rotational deformity of the forearm and 20° of pronosupination limitation. He was submitted to corrective osteotomies, using three-dimensional (3D) planning and templating, using a double approach, and fixation with a four screw holes plate in each osteotomy. At one year of follow-up, there are signs of bone consolidation and complete recovery of range of motion.
