Three-Wheel Roll Bending is a technique that uses three round-bend dies to form the tube. This style of bending is typically used for large radius bends and coils. The bend is created when the top center bend die is hydraulically lowered into the tube as the two lower left and right bend dies rotate in unison in one direction and then reverse direction when required. CNC versions of this machine allow an operator to alter the pressures during the bending cycle and thus create an elliptical shape or a bend with multiple bend radius. 1, record 5, English, - roll%20bending

Il existe également un procédé de roulage, dérivé du cintrage des tôles, qui permet d'obtenir des tubes de grand diamètre, ou viroles, en engageant la tête entre un jeu de trois cylindres à axes parfaitement parallèles; l'écartement entre le cylindre supérieur, libre, et les deux cylindres inférieurs, entraîneurs, permet de régler la courbure de la tôle. 1, record 5, French, - roulage

In children, bending of a long bone or bones occurring as a result of angulation and compressive forces, without any evidence of a fracture. It is particularly common in the radius or ulna and less commonly found in the fibula. In the forearm both bones may be bowed, or there may be an associated complete or incomplete fracture or dislocation of the other. The fibular bow fracture is usually associated with a complete fracture of the tibia. [From RSKEL, 1982, pp. 68, 69. ] 3, record 8, English, - bowing%20fracture

Chez l'enfant, incurvation diaphysaire d'un os long soumis à une compression axiale, sans trait de fracture décelable. Elle se rencontre surtout au niveau du cubitus ou du radius, parfois du péroné. l'avant-bras, le plus souvent, la fracture plastique d'un des deux os accompagne une fracture vraie de l'autre os. Plus rarement, elle intéresse simultanément les deux os de l'avant-bras. Au niveau du péroné, elle est presque toujours associée à une fracture du tibia.
