Outline

Text

Fracture of both bones forearm is a very common injury presented to orthopaedic trauma OPD worldwide. These fractures usually managed conservatively using closed reduction techniques followed by cast application as mentioned in multiple paediatric orthopaedic books. Closed reduction is difficult in cases where there is a single bone fracture forearm with overriding and fracture both bones forearm with severe overriding/bayoneting. There is no established technique available in literature to reduce such fractures with ease. Hereby we are presenting our case series of such cases (delayed presenting maluniting fracture forearm bones) which we have reduced with our new innovative technique of using simple JESS fixator for reduction.
