Background
- Rare
- When occur, most are displaced
- Compartment syndrome is rare
Differential Diagnosis
Forearm Fracture Types
- Distal radius fractures
- Radia ulna fracture
- Isolated radius fracture (proximal)
- Isolated ulna fracture (i.e. nightstick)
- Monteggia fracture-dislocation
- Galeazzi fracture-dislocation
- Forearm fracture (peds)
Management
- Nondisplaced: cast immobilization
- Displaced: Internal fixation
