Abstract
Traumatic bowing of the forearm bones is an unusual injury that can occur after a child falls on his outstretched hand. The emergency physician may see no fracture or dislocation but note an abnormal amount of bowing of one or both forearm bones on the x-ray films. The physician should be aware that this is a real entity. If in doubt, comparison films are helpful. Reduction is necessary, especially in the older child. Two cases are presented and the pathophysiology reviewed.
