Fracture recurrence in children.
A group of 20 children are described who presented with refracture (predominently affecting the forearm). The most likely causes were a combination of premature cessation of splintage combined with excessively reckless physical activity, the latter factor being of major importance. The problem is not a major one except where a significant increase of deformity occurs in refractures of the forearm.
