Forearm Fractures
نویسنده
چکیده
Box 88.1 lists the signs and symptoms of fractures and complications that indicate serious injury. In general, forearm fractures are classified by the bone (or bones) involved, anatomic location, trajectory of the fracture and alignment of the fracture fragments, and the presence of angulation, rotation, comminution, and concurrent dislocations. All fractures should be further described as open or closed, and the presence (or absence) of distal neurologic and vascular function should be noted (Fig. 88.1). Types of forearm fractures that are frequently mentioned in the medical literature are described in Table 88.1.
