  • Title: Reduction of bowing forearm fractures in the ED under propofol sedation.
    Author: Yamamoto LG.
    Journal: Am J Emerg Med; 2012 Jan; 30(1):249.e1-4. PubMed ID: 21035984.
    Abstract:
    Bowing fractures of the long bones result from a deforming force that bends the bone similar to an archer's bow. In some of the earlier descriptions of bowing fractures, the recommended treatment for these was closed reduction under general anesthesia in the operating room. The aim of this study was to describe 2 pediatric patients with bowing fractures of the forearm that were successfully reduced in the emergency department (ED) under deep sedation with propofol. Two cases of bowing fractures of the forearm reduced in the ED under propofol sedation were described. Some bowing fractures of the forearm can be reduced in the ED under propofol sedation.
