Retrospective analysis of plate fixation of diaphyseal fractures of the forearm bones. 1989

Hartshill Orthopaedic Hospital, Stoke-on-Trent.

A total of 133 fractures of the forearm bones treated by stainless steel plating have been reviewed. Technical error is the main cause of non-union. Although a union rate of 94.7 per cent was achieved, closer examination of the material shows that the stability of fixation is important in achieving early consolidation.
