Zusammenfassung: | Ten cases of bipolar forearm fracture-dislocation are presented. Recognition of the full extent of the skeletal, articular, and soft-tissue injuries is essential. Treatment consists of an anatomical reduction and proximal and distal stabilization of the skeleton to achieve control as well as maintain the position of the floating radius segment. The forearm bones can then be maintained in an optimal position to avoid interosseous soft-tissue contracture that will compromise the supination-pronation function of the forearm. |
