Condition: Forearm Fractures (Both Bone Forearm Fractures, Isolated Ulnar Shaft, Isolated Radial Shaft) · Sponsor: Vanderbilt University Medical Center
The goal of this randomized clinical study is to understand the effect of activity on the re-displacement of pediatric forearm fractures in patients ages 8-18 years old excluding those with known metabolic bone disease or obvious refracture. The main questions the study aims to answer are: Does increased activity lead to increased re-displacement rates during the treatment of pediatric forearm fractures? Are there complications associated with increased levels of activity during the treatment of pediatric forearm fractures (skin irritation, need for re-casting, operation)? Do activity restrictions provided for pediatric forearm fractures influence patient activity levels? Participants will be randomized into activity-restricted vs activity-limited (no contact sports). Some patients will be provided an ActiGraph Activity tracker to monitor patient activity. Every patient will complete a validated activity survey (PAQ) to assess activity at each follow-up appointment. Activity data and any complications will be recorded from time of initial presentation to cast removal.
