We explored risk factors for procedural failure, defined as a need for surgical intervention within 6 weeks of the closed reduction attempt.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Of 375 patients (median age 8.1 years, 294 [78.2%] boys), 44 (11.7%) patients sustained a reduction failure, of whom 42 (95.5%) had both radius and ulna fractures. Of the 259 patients with fractures of both bones, the following parameters were independent predictors for reduction failure: refracture (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 17.6, <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001), open fracture (aOR 10.1, <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic> = 0.007), midshaft fracture (aOR 2.6, <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic> = 0.004), radial translation rate 37% and higher in either plane (aOR 5.1, <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic> = 0.004), and age of 10 years and older (aOR 2.9, <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic> = 0.01).<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Most pediatric forearm fractures can be successfully managed by closed reduction in the ED. Two-bone fractures had the strongest association with reduction failure. Refracture, open fracture, midshaft location, initial radius bone translation of 37% and higher (and not initial angulation), and patient age of 10 years and older are independent risk factors for reduction failure in two-bone fractures. We propose a risk score for reduction failure that can serve as a decision-making tool.<\/jats:p>\n
