摘要：
Elastic nails are an established modality for treating forearm fractures in children. These nails are usually removed 6-9 months after surgery as refracture may occur in 10% of cases if the nails removed earlier. We report a case of refracture of the forearm bones with elastic nails in situ, 5 months after the original fractures. The fracture was angulated approximately 80degrees with the apex pointing anteriorly. Closed reduction was difficult and resulted in breakage of the ulnar nail. The authors describe the details and outline the management of this unreported complication. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
