This study is looking at how different activity levels affect the healing of forearm fractures (broken bones in the arm) in children and teenagers aged 8 to 18. We want to see if being more active while in a cast increases the chance of the bone moving out of place again (re-displacement). Participants will be randomly assigned to either receive "Restricted Activity Recommendations" or "Full Activity/Limited Activity Recommendations" (no contact sports). The main goal is to see if the bone re-displaces during the 6-8 weeks the cast is on. We are also looking at other complications like skin irritation or needing another surgery. You may be able to join if you have certain types of forearm fractures.
