Abstract:
A case report is presented of a 12-year-old male after a motor vehicle accident: head injury and multiple fractures, including bilateral both bone forearm fractures. The patient developed bilateral extensive forearm synostosis that required release and interpositional free flap at 6 months postinjury. At 3-year follow-up, the patient has maintained full forearm rotation and reports unrestricted sports and other recreational activities.
