Abstract
The aim of this article is to review the evaluation and management of pediatric forearm malunions. Acceptable parameters for nonoperative management of pediatric forearm fractures are reviewed, followed by clinical and imaging workups of malunions and decision-making points for treatment. The landscape of available technology for planning and execution of corrective osteotomy is discussed. Several cases of pediatric forearm malunion are presented, along with surgical and functional outcomes. Recommendations are given regarding the authors' preferred approach for management of pediatric forearm malunions.
