Pediatric Open Both-Bone Forearm Fracture Stabilized with Titanium and Stainless Steel Stacked Extension Internal Plating: A Case Report. uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • CASE: A 12-year-old male patient sustained a multisegmental both-bone forearm fracture. Definitive stabilization was ulna intramedullary pinning, with stainless steel plating of the radius followed by a titanium plate stacked atop and extending internal fixation. Currently, 36 months after surgery, he experiences no limitations or complications. All hardware remains in situ. CONCLUSION: We believe this is the first description of different material plates in direct contact, of stacked plates, and of 1 plate extending another's fixation. No adverse effects developed.
