title: [Recurrent fractures of both bones of the forearm in children].
abstract: Repeated fractures are not unusual in the course of forearm fractures in children. 49 cases were reviewed in this work. Some of them result from insufficient duration of the plaster. Other fractures are due to the weakness of the forearm bones after the fractures especially when there is a residual malalignment. The findings of this work emphasize the importance of the reduction even when the displacement is moderate. Open reduction and internal fixation is reserved in only rare cases.
