Overview

If only one bone is broken, using cast or brace might be a possible treatment option.

Non-surgical therapy

In children, the usual plan is to attempt closed reduction followed by cast immobilization. In adults, treatment with immobilization in a molded long arm cast can be used in those rare occasions of a nondisplaced fracture of both bones of the forearm. If the fracture shifts in position, it may require surgery to put the bones back together[1][2].
