Pearls
Do not require reduction:
- <15° lateral or <20° dorsal angulation
- <5-10mm displacement
Forearm position for splinting:
- Apex-volar angulation: pronation
- Apex-dorsal angulation: supination
Children >10 years-old can tolerate less displacement and angulation.
Rotational deformities do not typically correct with growth.
Pediatric patients can be placed in a bivalved cast if expertise is available.
