Suggest Treatment For Forearm Injury In A 4 Years Old Child

4 year old broke both forearm bones had surgery. They took cast off three weeks early cause fingers weren't moving. His hand looks like a birth defect hand and rests in a very strange position. Is this just something that needs to be rehabbed or is it something more serious

Hi,
From history it seems that there might not be having good union of fracture bones due to early removal of cast.
There is also a possibility of having mal-union of fracture giving this problem.
He requires good rehabilitation to prevent distortion of fore arms.
Consult pediatric orthopedic surgeon and get examined.
Afterwards plan of treatment can be decided.
Ok and take care.
