Activity and healing in children's forearm fractures
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how activity affects healing in children with certain forearm fractures that don't need surgery. The goal is to learn if specific activities can cause the bone to shift out of place.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has a broken forearm bone (radius or ulna) in the lower part or the shaft, not involving the growth plate.
- Your child saw the doctor within 7 days of the injury.
- The fracture is not caused by a bone disease or tumor.
- Your child's fracture does not need surgery right away.

This study looks at treatment for children’s wrist (distal radius) fractures that are very displaced but not involving the growth plate. It may help doctors find the best way to reset and stabilize the bone when the fracture is recent.
This study compares different ways to fix broken forearm bones in adolescents aged 10 to 16. It may help if your child has a fracture that needs surgery because the bones are too angled or shifted.
This study looks at how greenstick fractures (a common type of incomplete break) in children's lower arm bones heal while wearing a brace or splint. It helps doctors understand what treatment works best for these small-angle breaks.
This study compares two surgical methods—casting versus percutaneous pinning—to treat certain distal (near the wrist) forearm fractures in children. It aims to find which method works best for healing and function, especially in specific fracture types.
This study compares two ways to treat certain forearm bone breaks in children: a cast versus flexible metal rods inside the bone. It aims to see which method works better for healing and hand/arm function.
This study looks at treating certain types of upper-arm (humerus) shaft fractures started within 14 days of injury. It aims to see which approach works best for healing and recovery in the right kinds of fractures.
