Dynamic compression plating is the gold standard for the treatment of fracture both bones of forearm: A series of 30 cases

Abstract

The forearm movements are important in activities of daily living. The proximal and distal radioulnar joints, allows pronation and supination required to perform multi axial movements.Fractures of forearm bones have become more common due to increased high speed vehicles, industrialization, sports and mechanical farming. Inadequate treatment of those fractures may result in severe loss of function. Good anatomical reduction and internal fixation is necessary to restore function. The aim of present study was to assess the functional outcome of ORIF of fracture both bones forearm using Dynamic Compression Plate. Material and methods: Thirty patients (18-50 years age) of with diaphyseal fractures of both bones forearm from November 2016 to October 2018 were treated by ORIF using 3.5mm DCP by standard techniques and results were evaluated based on
