Traumatic bowing of forearm and lower leg in children

R Stenström et al. Acta Radiol Diagn (Stockh). 1978.

Abstract

Traumatic bowing of the forearm or lower leg is reported in 31 children. It is a relatively rare condition. Bowing occurs most frequently in combination with fracture of the other bone in the same extremity. In a minority of cases a bowing deformity is a single lesion. Age distribution, degree of deformity, mechanism of origin and therapy are presented and discussed.
