Forearm fractures make 13-18% of all injuries of the upper extremities in children. Most of them are older than 6 years. The degree of tolerance is different but children younger than 8 years can tolerate 15-20 degrees of angulation, 45 degrees of inadequate rotation and total displacement. Older children can tolerate angulation of 10 degrees, 30 degrees of inadequate rotation and complete dislocation. ⋯ Based on our experience it is concluded that orthopedic reposition and percutaneous pinning of unstable forearm fractures in children is very easy to perform, duration of intramedullar fixation is relatively short, removal of pins is also very easy without anesthesia and it requires short period of plaster immobilisation. This provides faster rehabilitation and improves quality of life.
