摘要:

SummaryThe most common treatment for displaced fractures of both bones of the forearm is plate fixation. However, the anatomy of the forearm is difficult, and immediate plate fixation of forearm fractures may not be feasible in a polytrauma patient. Initial stabilization of forearm fractures using external fixation is indicated in patients whose other injuries need to be addressed first. Primary external fixation in these cases allows the stabilization of the forearm fractures while other medical teams address the patient's more serious injuries.

摘要:

SummaryMost fractures occurring before skeletal maturity can be treated with closed methods. However, some fractures may yield an unacceptable result if treated closed, such as fractures that cannot be reduced anatomically by these techniques, fractures that may not remodel, pathologic fractures, and fractures that require prolonged immobilization in a cast or traction. For such fractures, the Ilizarov external fixation method offers a minimally invasive method that allows function, provides immobilization, and aids reduction. The technique for treatment of femoral and humeral fractures requires careful preoperative planning, intraoperative technique, and postoperative follow-up.
