Ipsilateral elbow and forearm injuries in children.
Twenty-five children with combined elbow injury and forearm bone fractures have been reviewed. The incidence of serious complications was low, and only one patient was significantly handicapped. Open reduction and internal fixation of the supracondylar fracture with closed treatment of the forearm fracture gave the best results.
