  • Title: Acute plastic bowing of the forearm in adults: a report of two cases.
    Author: Tada K, Ikeda K, Tsubouchi H, Tomita K.
    Journal: J Orthop Surg (Hong Kong); 2008 Aug; 16(2):241-2. PubMed ID: 18725680.
    Abstract:
    We report 2 adult cases where the diagnosis of acute plastic bowing of the forearm was either delayed or missed. In a 21-year-old man, ulnar bowing was missed and fixation was not performed because the patient had no limitation to his range of movement or pain. In a 24-year-old woman, the presentation of bowing in both the ulna and radius was delayed and corrective osteotomy was necessary for restoration of full range of movement. Prompt diagnosis enables manual reposition for easy restoration of full range of movement.
