Forearm trauma in children is a frequent reason for emergency department visits. An often incomplete medical history can lead to difficulties in understanding the traumatic mechanism. This case study highlights the complexity of managing pediatric forearm injuries, particularly due to the potential presence of associated lesions, which must be thoroughly investigated through clinical and radiological examination. In this context, this case serves as a reminder of the different types of forearm and elbow fractures, the potentially associated injuries that should be systematically sought, and the clinical and radiological tools available to the emergency physician.
儿童前臂创伤是急诊就诊的常见原因。病史往往不完整,这可能导致难以理解创伤机制。本病例研究突出了小儿前臂损伤处理的复杂性,特别是由于可能存在相关损伤,必须通过临床和放射学检查进行全面调查。在这种情况下,本病例提醒急诊医生注意不同类型的前臂和肘部骨折、应系统排查的潜在相关损伤以及可用的临床和放射学检查手段。
