Abstract
The forearm is a complex anatomical structure serving an integral role in upper extremity function. It has been universally recognised that diaphyseal fractures of both bone forearm in adult require operative ?xation. This study attempts to describe both bone diaphyseal fractures of forearm in adults which have been mostly managed by traditional bone setters with native bandages and manipulation and present late to modern orthopaedic care.This is a prospective study done in Santhiram Medical College, Nandyal in the Department of Orthopaedics. 24 patients who presented to us with neglected both bone diaphyseal fractures of forearm in adults & were operated with limited contact dynamic compression plate (LC-DCP) were analysed over a period of 6 months regarding the functional and radiological outcome of LC-DCP. LC-DCP aids in early post- operative mobility,improve the blood supply to the underlying bone cortex, lessen the risk of partial bone necrosis which can improve healing, decrease infection rate, compression at fracture site and eventually the early union of the fracture. Source of the study : Santhiram Medical College & General Hospital, Nandyal. Study design: Prospective study. Duration of study: June 2022 to November 2022. Sample size: 24 patients of either sex. Inclusion Criteria: Patients who are willing to give written informed consent.Patients who sustained diaphyseal fractures of both bones forearm and presented for de?nitive intervention at least one month after the injury. Exclusion Criteria: Patients who are NOT willing to give written informed consent. Age before physeal closure
