Traumatic bowing of the forearm: a case report.
In a 16-year-old girl, the forearm was caught between rollers in a textile factory. The tangential force caused massive swelling and one week later bowing of the forearm was noticed. One month and 3 months later the bowing was unchanged, and caused 30 degrees limitation of pronation while supination was normal. Bowing of the forearm bones in children following trauma, interperted as a plastic deformation of bone, is only recently recognized as a clinical and roentgenological entity.
