About this trial
evaluate and compare the clinical, and radiographic outcomes of 2.7 mm locking compression mini-plate osteosynthesis versus titanium elastic intramedullary nail (TEN) in the surgical management of diaphyseal fractures of both forearm bones in adolescent patients

Pathological fracture (secondary to bone cyst, tumor, osteogenesis imperfecta, etc.).
Neurovascular compromise requiring emergent exploration (e.g., acute compartment syndrome, pulseless limb after reduction).
Floating elbow (ipsilateral supracondylar humerus fracture + forearm fracture).
