This is the case of an 8 yr old boy with history of fall from jamun tree. He had severe pain in left forearm with swelling and abnormal mobility. Xrays showed fracture both bone left forearm with comminution and impaction of radius. A sincere attempt at closed reduction under anesthesia was made. However, the reduction though achieved, was not held satisfactorily in plaster. Since the parents were counseled and preparations were already done, in same anesthesia sitting, the child was operated and plating was done. A distal end radius plate was used to fix radius. The one third tubular plate used to fix ulna had only two screws in distal fragment. The most important thing to keep in mind while operating a pediatric fracture is to respect the physis. The implant must not include-span the physis. Any accidental injury to the physis must be avoided. If the physis must be crossed, then the wires with smallest diameter must be used and all such hardware must be removed as early as possible. However, if the identity of the fracture demands, 1/3^rd of the physis can be pierced without significant growth disturbances.
