Summary

This study aimed to find out whether a cast that keeps the elbow straight or bent works better for children with a specific type of forearm fracture. The researchers planned to enroll children aged 3 to 18 with a broken radius and ulna in the upper half of the arm. However, the study was stopped early after only 3 participants, so no clear conclusions can be drawn.
