چکیده

We identified 25 children (10 girls and 15 boys) who had been treated with single bone intramedullary fixation for diaphyseal fractures of both forearm bones. Their mean age was 10.75 years (4.6 to 15.9). All had a good functional outcome. We conclude that in selected children, single bone intramedullary nailing is a suitable method of treatment for diaphyseal fractures of both bones of the forearm.

Radius-only intramedullary nailing for both-bones diaphyseal forearm fractures in children.

Both-bones diaphyseal forearm fractures are common injuries in the paediatric age group and are potentially unstable. Both-bones intramedullary nailing for these fractures is a minimally invasive procedure that maintains alignment, and promotes rapid bony healing. Good results have also been shown with single-bone fixation. We report our experience in treating these common injuries with radius-...

Diaphyseal Fractures of the Forearm in Adults, Plating Or Intramedullary Nailing Is a Better Option for the Treatment?

BACKGROUND Fractures of the radius and ulna occupy a large field of the modern traumatology. Therefore, these fractures are a major subject in modern orthopaedics and traumatology. The study of the mechanisms of the trauma, and the pathophysiological changes that occur are of great importance for the development of ever more efficient and varied ways of the treatment and prophylactics of this t...

Treatment of Paediadric Forearm Fractures with Titanium Elastic Nails

Background: A prospective analysis of a case series of diaphyseal forearm fractures in children treated with titanium elastic nails is presented. Methods: Between 2012 and 2014, 45 children aged 5-15 years with displaced diaphyseal forearm fractures underwent titanium elastic nailing. Both bones were fractured in 32 patients, ten fractured only the radius, and three experienced ulna fracture. E...

Four-Screw Plate Fixation vs Conventional Fixation for Diaphyseal Fractures of the Forearm

BACKGROUND Standard treatment of diaphyseal fractures of the forearm is open reduction and fixation using dynamic compression plates (DCP) and screws. This technique uses screw placement in all 6 or more of the plate holes except the hole over the fracture line. We hypothesized that DCP with selective 4-screw bicortical placement can provide adequate fixation for these fractures. OBJECTIVES T...

A comparison of the treatment results of dpen reduction internal fixation and intramedullary nailing in adult forearm diaphyseal fractures.

BACKGROUND We compared the union and functional results of intramedullary nailing and open reduction internal fixation treatment applied to adults with a forearm diaphysis fracture (fracture of the radius and/or ulna). METHODS We retrospectively examined 90 patients with completed skeletal maturation who were surgically treated for a forearm diaphyseal fracture. Patients with a Monteggia Gale...
