Fracture of both bones of the forearm, flexionfracture common in childhood. 552 INTERSTATE MEDICAL JOURNAL about the dorsum of the wrist, soft crepitus, false mobility and marked ten-derness were also present. There was slight ecchymosis localized to the frontof the wrist. A diagnosis of fracture of the lower end of the radius and ulnawas made. A subsequent x-ray picture showed a separation of the epiphysisof the radius and an infraction of the lower end of the ulna. Fractures of the shafts of the bones were mainly of the torsionor bending variety. They varied from a slight bending of thebone to a complete fracture. Figs. 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 are x-ray pic-tures of the fractures. False mobility was present in the majorityof these cases. Crepitus was elicited in a few. Ecchymosis wasseldom present and when it was present was very slight, usuallyappearing as a slight discoloration in the region of the injury. Tenderness was present in all of the cases. It
