Non-operative Management of Adult Both Bone Forearm Fractures – A Case Report and Literature Review
INTRODUCTION: Adult both bone forearm fractures (BBFF) are common injuries that are typically treated with operative fixation given their instability. Non-displaced fractures can be theoretically treated non-operatively, but there is no literature demonstrating treatment outcomes of such fractures....

Sumario: | INTRODUCTION: Adult both bone forearm fractures (BBFF) are common injuries that are typically treated with operative fixation given their instability. Non-displaced fractures can be theoretically treated non-operatively, but there is no literature demonstrating treatment outcomes of such fractures. CASE REPORT: We present a case of non-displaced BBFF in a 23-year-old Caucasian male adult who was treated with cast immobilization and concomitant ultrasound stimulator use; this patient went on to have solid fracture healing without complication. CONCLUSION: Based on this case, we demonstrate that non-operative management of non-displaced BBFF in adult patients is an option if close follow-up is available. This is significant for the fields of both orthopedic and plastic surgery, as there is little concrete evidence of outcomes of such non-displaced fractures in hand surgery literature. |
