Fracture around forearm

Dr. Ashish Gohiya Asst. Professor Dept of Orthopaedics Gandhi Medical College Bhopal Dr. Ashish Gohiya

Anatomy

Dr. Ashish Gohiya

Proximal Third Frx above insertion of pronator teres. • proximal fragment of radius is supinated & flexed because of unopposed action of biceps brachii & supinator, and • the distal fragment is pronated by the action of the pronator teres & pronator quadratus muscles. • to obtain alignment of the fracture, the distal fragment should be supinated; Dr. Ashish Gohiya

Middle Third Fractures below pronator teres

• proximal fragment is held in neutral rotation, as • • •

action of supinator is countered by the pronator teres. proximal fragment is drawn into flexion by action of biceps. distal fragment is pronated & drawn toward ulna by pronator quadratus. to achieve anatomic reduction, distal fragment is brought into neutral rotation Dr. Ashish Gohiya

Distal Third Fractures below pronator teres

• •

distal fragment of the pulled radius is pronated & pulled inward by pronator quadratus. overriding & shortening are caused by obliquity of frx & pull of muscles.

Treatment • Non operative – Slab – Cast

• Operative – ORIF • Plating • Nailing

– Closed nailing

Pediatric Both Bone Forearm Fractures • frx may be greenstick or complete in both the radius and ulna. • mechanism: - indirect injury during fall on an outstretched hand; - direct violence occassionally is cause of both bone forearm.

Dr. Ashish Gohiya

Paediatric frxs • in pts < 6 yrs of age: – upto 15 deg of angulation is acceptable. – 5 deg of rotation may also be acceptable;

• between ages of 6-10 yrs – less than 10 deg of angulation should remodel especially if frx is close to distal epiphysis; – acceptable angulation is less than 15 deg.

• pts > 12 yrs of age – no angulatory or rotational deformity is considered acceptable. – more aggressive treatment is required, including open reduction and compression plating . Dr. Ashish Gohiya

Monteggia Fracture Dislocation • Fracture of the proximal ulna with dislocation of proximal end of radius.

Dr. Ashish Gohiya

Treatment Acute Frx • Closed reduction of radius head • Open reduction and internal fixation of ulna – Plate – Nail

Unreduced head • Open reduction of radius head – Repair of lig. – Reconstruction of lig.

Late presentation • Radial head excision In childrern close reduction & cast with elbow >90 flex. Dr. Ashish Gohiya

Galeazzi Fracture Dislocation • Fracture of necessity • Fracture of distal third radius with dislocation of distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ)

Dr. Ashish Gohiya

Treatment • ORIF – Plate (DCP)

• DRUJ may require “K” wire fixation.
