Two-bone forearm fractures are among the most common types of fractures that orthopedic surgeons encounter in their daily practice. Forearm fractures account for about 20% of all fractures in the pediatric population, affecting males in about two-thirds of cases and involving both bones in half of cases. Specifically, fractures involving both bones account for approximately 3% to 5% of all fractures and 30% of fractures of the upper extremities. Although they can occur at any age, forearm fractures are more frequent in school-age children and adolescents than in infants and preschoolers.

Abstract
Two-bone forearm fractures are among the most common types of fractures that orthopedic surgeons encounter in their daily practice. Forearm fractures account for about 20% of all fractures in the pediatric population, affecting males in about two-thirds of cases and involving both bones in half of cases. Specifically, fractures involving both bones account for approximately 3% to 5% of all fractures and 30% of fractures of the upper extremities. Although they can occur at any age, forearm fractures are more frequent in school-age children and adolescents than in infants and preschoolers.
