Dacatra

Reduction and Fixation of Forearm Fractures

The plastic model used has a short oblique fracture of the radius, just distal to the mid shaft,
combined with a mid shaft multifragmented fracture of the ulna. The radial fracture, when reduced,
will be held by a 7-hole LC-DCP incorporating a lag screw. For the ulna, indirect reduction will be
followed by fixation with a 12-hole LC-DCP used as a bridge plate.
