Right forearm Fracture
Hello Doctors,i have attached the copy of x-ray where the patient has undergone surgery on 7th Jan due to fracture in the forearm.Both of the bones were broken and one of these were overlapping so this was aligned with the help of rod and the attached x-ray is after the surgery.In the x-ray i can see (encircled in green) the union of two bones are slightly or minor mis-aligned so will it create any issue in future in regards to function or movement in hands and fingers ? OR you consider this to be OK and nothing to worry about ? Will it create any bulge in outside skin ?
Kindly advise and thanks in advance for your time.

Hello, greetings from Kolkata.
At 9 years the child still has major growth spurts left when these types of fractures will remodel similar to the normal side.
No future issues should occur to hand or finger movements.
No bulge should stay outside skin after a few years.
Next Steps
Follow the instructions of your treating surgeon.

The doctor has treated this very well
