Fractures of the bones of the forearm (radius and/or ulna) are the most common fractures in children and, due to possible complications and unwanted outcomes, represent a major public health problem. A third of these fractures are fractures of the distal part of the radius. The main cause of fracture is a fall on an outstretched arm. The diagnosis is based on history, physical examination and X-ray. Depending on the type of fracture, treatment usually includes repositioning of the fragments, immobilization of the arm, and surgical treatment. The role of the nurse in treating forearm fractures in children is extremely important and includes multiple aspects of care, education and psychological support for the child and his family. Forearm fractures, which involve breaking one or both bones of the forearm (ulna and radius), are common in children due to their active nature. The aim of this research was to investigate the mechanism of fracture of the forearm bones and the way and method of care and treatment in children at the Čakovec County Hospital. From the collected data, it was observed that forearm fractures occur almost three times more often in boys than in girls. Most fractures occur at the age of 7-14 years, and the main mechanism of fracture occurrence is falls (falls from a level and falls from a height). The leading diagnoses are a fracture of the diaphysis of the ulna and thumb and a fracture of the forearm. Fractures that occur are mostly treated with the installation of a Kirschner wire and a closed treatment method, while a smaller number of patients are treated conservatively (reposition + immobilization).
