Both bone forearm fractures (BBFFs) are a common injury amongst the pediatric population accounting for approximately 3–5% of all fractures and 30% of upper extremity fractures [ 1 ]. Management of BBFFs is controversial as regards time to operate …

Forearm fractures involving the diaphysis of the radius and ulna hold a distinct place in orthopedic injuries due to their frequency and the anatomical importance of the involved bones’ distinct capacity to perform pronation and supination [ 1 ].

Pediatric distal forearm fractures, comprising 30% of musculoskeletal injuries in children, are conventionally diagnosed using radiography. Ultrasound has emerged as a safer diagnostic tool, eliminating ionizing radiation, enabling bedside …

Forearm fractures are common, especially in women, and distal forearm fractures contribute substantially to the burden of osteoporotic fractures [ 1 , 2 ]. A forearm fracture results in morbidity for those affected, and especially a distal forearm …

Bone mineral density (BMD) measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) at the femoral neck (BMD hip ) and lumbar spine (BMD spine ) are routinely used for assessment of fracture risk [ 1 ]. Individuals are considered to be at high risk …

Forearm fractures including distal radial fractures (DRF) and fractures of the olecranon are some of the most common orthopaedic injuries. Fractures affecting the hands and upper extremities can have profound impacts on the well-being and …

Approximately one-third of children experience at least one fracture before the age of 17 [ 1 ]. Typical injury mechanism for pediatric fractures is fall, while sport related injuries, playground injuries and traffic accidents are usual types of …

As the global population ages, health systems are becoming strained with fragility fractures related to osteoporosis in older adults [ 1 , 2 ]. Several studies have demonstrated the importance of an early diagnosis of osteoporosis to help prevent …

Fractures of the distal radius and forearm are among the most common injuries in children, boys are more affected than girls especially the older age group around 12 years, while younger age groups with complete fractures may require surgical …

Register data are frequently used for research, surveillance of disease, and planning of healthcare services. However, hospital-based register data are collected for administrative purposes, which affects the type of data available and data …

The goal of treatment for forearm fracture is to ensure maintenance of optimal length and radioulnar joint relationships with full pronosupination [ 1 – 3 ]. There are various options for treating such fractures, including closed management and …

Radiographic malunion is common following closed treatment of pediatric forearm diaphyseal fractures, ranging from 15 to 39% in children who sustained the injuries up to 15 years of age [ 1 – 3 ]. Most children continue to remodel their deformities …

The specific structural integrity of motor–tendon units of both the upper and lower extremity is crucial for efficient usage and dexterity of the limbs [ 1 ]. These units are grouped within compartments with sturdy fasciae. Any traumatic impact to …
