Children love to run, hop, skip, jump and tumble. But if they fall onto an outstretched arm, they could break one or both of the bones in the forearm.

We regret that emails asking for surgical advice or sources of surgical information are not answered. Under the Canada Health Act, all patients must be referred to an orthopaedic surgeon by a family physician, therefore the COA cannot provide any surgical referrals.
