Forearm Fracture
A forearm fracture is a break in one or both of the bones that make it up, the radius and the ulna. It is a common injury after falls, direct blows, or accidents, both in adults and in childhood.
Common symptoms:
- Intense, immediate pain
- Swelling and visible deformity
- Difficulty moving the wrist or elbow
- Tenderness to the touch in the area
When to seek care? In the face of sharp pain, deformity, or inability to move the arm after a blow, a prompt evaluation is advisable to avoid complications in the healing of the bone.
Which specialist treats it? The orthopedist is the one to evaluate and follow up on the injury; when it affects the area near the wrist, the hand surgeon may get involved, and in children the pediatric orthopedist. Seeing a professional in time supports a proper recovery.
