title: A complicated forearm greenstick fracture: case report.
abstract: Closed reduction of a greenstick fracture of the forearm in a child of 9 years was complicated by interposition of the deep flexor tendon of the third, fourth, and fifth fingers in the fracture gap. Undelayed release of the tendon resulted in a complete functional recovery.
