Adult Forearm Fractures - OrthoInfo - AAOS
Your forearm is made up of two bones, the radius and ulna. Because of the strong force required to break the radius or ulna in the middle of the bone, it is more common for adults to break both bones during a forearm injury.

Texas Children's Hospital: Forearm and Wrist Fractures
Forearm fractures make up 40% of all fractures in children. Wrist fractures are the most common and in adolescents commonly involve the growth plate. Fractures in the midportion of the forearm are most common in middle school-age children.

Buckle Fracture of Forearm | Winchester Hospital
A buckle fracture is a unique type of fracture that most often occurs in children. It is a compression fracture on one side of a bone that causes the bone to bend or buckle toward the damaged side. Buckle fractures are more common in children because their bones are softer and more able to bend. Buckle fractures of the forearm usually occur in the radius. The radius is the bone that runs along the thumb side of the arm forming most of the wrist joint.

Forearm fractures can happen near the wrist (distal), in the middle of the bone or near the top (proximal), near the elbow. It's among the most common injuries in the NFL. Players return routinely, but perhaps at some long-term cost.
