The classifications for adult both bone forearm fractures apply descriptive terms about the location of the fracture in bone, whether one or both bones are fractured, the degrees of comminution, displacement ,angulation and whether the fracture is open or closed.

At the 15th Annual Vail Orthopaedic Symposium in Vail, Colorado, the Friday morning session of the "Upper Extremity Course: Problem Fractures and Reconstructive Challenges" consisted of 7 lectures and 2 bioskills laboratory sessions that focused on fractures of the forearm. The session was moderated by Michael D. McKee, MD, FRCS,...

Because forearm fractures account for most limb fractures, emergency physicians should be familiar with evaluation and management of each type. Forearm fractures are classified as involving the proximal, middle, or distal shaft. Fractures of the radius and ulna are intimately associated with the elbow and wrist and are discussed in...

The forearm is a complex anatomic structure serving an integral role in upper extremity function. The dexterity of the upper limb is dependent on a combination of hand and wrist function and forearm rotation. The forearm bones can be considered struts linking 2 halves of a condylar joint formed by...

For descriptive purposes, as well as for operative considerations, forearm fractures are classified by location, being categorized as proximal, middle, or distal third fractures. The middle third of the radius stretches from the radial bow to the beginning of diaphyseal straightening. The ulna is relatively straight and can be divided...

We have assessed the influence of isolated and combined rotational malunion of the radius and ulna on the rotation of the forearm. Osteotomies were made in both the radius and the ulna at the mid-diaphyseal level of five cadaver forearms and stabilised with intramedullary metal implants. Malunion about the axis...

We report a case of trifocal, diaphyseal fracture of the radius with a mid-diaphyseal fracture of the ulna in a 53-year-old Caucasian, British, right-hand dominant woman involved in a head-on collision with another vehicle. The management of this rare fracture configuration is described and alternative treatment options discussed.
Unilateral, trifocal, diaphyseal...
