Most of the forearm fracture in children easy to heal, and 10-20 degrees of angle are still acceptable because children's bones are self-correcting. Objectives: To evaluate the results of conservative treatment of forearm bones fracture in children at the department of outpatient at Viet Duc Hospital.

Evaluate the results according to Anderson criteria. Result: good 90.1%, good result 7.1%, average 2.8% no poor result.
