Abstract

An 8-year-old boy presents with right forearm pain after a fall during gym class onto his right arm. He was taken to the emergency room (ER) and was diagnosed with midshaft forearm fracture of the radius with angular deformity of the right forearm. After reduction of the fracture, the child was immobilized with a long arm cast for 3 weeks and then transitioned to a munster cast for an additional 3 weeks. He went on to uneventfully heal his fracture.
