title: [A complex forearm injury caused by skateboarding].
abstract: Conservative treatment of forearm fractures in children is preferred. However, in a few cases an open reduction and internal fixation are required. The case of a 15-year-old boy with a complex forearm injury following a skateboard accident is reported. The surgical treatment of these injuries is presented and the indications for open reduction and internal fixation of forearm fractures in children are discussed.
