Time to Healing in Displaced Pediatric Diaphyseal Forearm Fractures Treated With Bioabsorbable Compared to Titanium Intramedullary Nails

This study looks at children with forearm fractures that need surgery. The standard treatment uses titanium nails, which usually need to be removed in a second operation later. This study compares titanium nails with bioabsorbable nails, which gradually dissolve in the body and may help some children avoid another operation. The study will compare how quickly the fractures heal on X-ray, and also look at complications, recovery, function, and the family's experience. Children who need surgery will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatments so the comparison is fair. Hypothesis: The researchers expect that fractures treated with bioabsorbable nails will heal almost as quickly as fractures treated with titanium nails, while reducing the need for later implant removal surgery.

Association Between Hand-Eye Coordination and Handgrip Strength in Children Post-Healing of DRGF

The study investigates whether hand-eye coordination is related to handgrip strength in children (aged 5-12 years) after they have healed from distal radius greenstick fractures. This is important because both strength and coordination are crucial for a child's full functional recovery after such fractures.
