A member asked:
Will i need a surgery for my broken forearm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Forearm Fracture: This depends on the angulation/displacement of the bones that are fractured, whether the fracture is open or closed, etc. This decision should be made by an orthopedic surgeon after obtaining either an x-ray or ct scan.
