Summary
Proximal tendon entrapment in pediatric forearm fractures is rare and difficult to diagnose. Early surgical release in these two cases restored full function, highlighting the need for careful examination.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Orthopedics
- Musculoskeletal Trauma
Background:
- Tendon entrapment in pediatric forearm fractures is a rare complication.
- Entrapments are more common distally than proximally.
- Diagnosis is often delayed, occurring months to years after the initial injury.
