Abstract

Although traumatic bowing of one or both bones of the forearm in children following acute trauma was reported by some authors, traumatic bowing of the ulna with dislocation of the radial head was described by only a few reports. We experienced one case of traumatic bowing of ulna associated with dislocation of the radial head and it was managed with open reduction of the dislocation of radial head and closed management of the bowing of the ulna. The result 1 year 10 months after treatment was very good, so we report this a case with related literatures.
