Features of the forearm bone are common and results from severe trauma, accompained with many associated injuris. Authors analysed 49 cases who had received operative treatment at department of orthopedic surgery from Feb. 1989 to Feb. 1994
The most common cause of injury was a traffic accident and average age was 29.6 years, the ratio of male to female was 28 to 16 cases. We treated these fractures surgically in most cases and obtained satisfactory result. Injured patients were
admitted
and treated by open reduction and internal fixation using plates(36 cases) and IM nailing(8 cases) The average time of bone union in the closed fracture was 15.8weeks in the ulna, 15.4week in the radius and in the open fracture 20 weeks in the
ulna,
18.4weeks in the radius. The complications were delayed union in 10 cases non-union in 2 cases and nerve injury in 9 cases. We caused obtain good results by accurate understanding to the fracture complexity before operation
