Most require ORIF: If the fractures are in the mid- shaft( mid forearm) this will require surgery( generally plating of both bones). If the fractures occurred near the wrist they can occasionally be treated non- operatively( casting). See an orthopedic surgeon. Best of luck!

Ouch: Unfortunately it is not an uncommon fracture. In adults, non displaced fractures treated in cast. Displaced fractures require either plate and screws or I'm rods to hold in good position as they heal.
