Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a sugar-tong splint is as effective as a long-arm cast in maintaining reduction of pediatric forearm shaft fractures in a randomized, prospective manner. Consented participants will be randomly assigned to be treated with either a sugar-tong splint or a long-arm cast (both standard of care treatments) in REDCap. Each participant will have a 50/50 chance of being assign to either treatment.
