Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: Investigation of some clinical characteristics in adult patients with radius and ulna shaft fractures treated by locking plate fixation. Subjects and methods: A retrospective study, from January 2016 to July 2019, at Military Hospital 175, on 63 patients with closed radius and ulna shaft fractures treated by open reduction and plate fixation. Results and Conclusion: In the study, the age of the patients ranged from 19 years old to 65 years old, the average age of the study group was 34.19 ± 12.63 years old. The male/female ratio was 3.2/1 with 15 female patients (23.81%) and 48 male patients (76.19%). The cause is usually traffic accidents, occupational accidents, daily-life accidents and sports accidents, in which the rate of traffic accidents is higher. The frequency of fracture of the left forearm was higher than that of the right, with the same level of fracture being 51 cases, accounting for 80.95% of fracture cases. Class B fracture according to AO classification accounts for 93.65%..
