Forearm fracture is the fracture, which occurs between the wrist and the elbow. The bones which get fractured are the radius and the ulna. Radius bone lies on the thumb side of the forearm whereas the ulna bone lies on the little finger side.
Fractures can occur in one or both bones at one or several places of the forearm:
Types of forearm fractures:
Forearm fractures can occur in the radius or ulna or in both bones.
Commonly occurs in children while playing sports. In most cases, forearm fractures are caused by:
A forearm fracture usually results in:
Pathology
Fracture depends upon the age of the individual, the strength of the bone, mass of the bone, quality of the bone, and the frequency, nature, and forces produced by the injury on the bone. Usually repetitive or high-velocity thrust leads to mechanical failure.
X-Rays
X-rays show clear images of the bones and help to determine the extent of the injury.
Computed tomography scan (CT scan):
Computed tomography scan (CT scan) provides detailed cross-sections of the bone.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI):
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) creates very detailed images using magnetic fields.
Bone scan:
A bone scan helps to find fractures that are not shown up in an X-ray, it can help find those fractures.
Depending on the type of fracture and degree of displacement, treatment is decided.
Nonsurgical Treatment
Undisplaced fractures may simply need the support of a cast or splint while they heal.
Severe fractures that have become angled, gentle push or manipulation (closed reduction) of the bones into place is done.
Surgical Treatment
Surgery is required in displaced fractures or maligned fractures to align the pieces of bones and secure them in place. In such fractures, the skin is opened and the broken bone segments are repositioned (open reduction). Metal implants, pins, stainless-steel screws, plates, and fixators, or a cast is used to hold the broken bones in place.
Medication:
Pain reliever, such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen etc
Note: Medication should not be taken without the doctor's prescription.
Recovery
A stable fracture may require 3 to 4 weeks in a cast. Whereas severe fractures may require immobilization for 6 to 10 weeks.
After the removal of the cast, the wrist and elbow joints may be stiff for 2 to 3 weeks. Physiotherapy is recommended after the cast removal.
Cryotherapy is used to help reduce pain and swelling.
Electrical stimulation (TENS) may also be used to help improve muscle and strength.
Ultrasound helps to reduce the scar adhesion thus improving mobility.
Massage
After a surgical intervention scar massage and mobilization can help reduce adhesions. Massage helps to improve mobility around the scar.
Range of motion exercises
Range of motion exercises help to regain full motion of the elbow, wrist and rotation of the forearm. Early range of motion exercises are started from distal to proximal. Particular focus should be placed on the fractured area and the joints around it. Exercises like simple flexion, extension, supination, pronation exercises can be done with the help of wall pulleys, shoulder wheels, finger ladder etc.
Proprioception
Proprioception is the ability to know where the body is, with eyes closed. Due to immobility proprioception decreases. To enhance the sense of proprioception exercises like pushups, rolling a ball on a surface with hand, holding up weight overhead while moving the shoulder all the exercises can be done as a training.
Strengthening exercises
Initially, physiotherapy may help to improve the strength of the unaffected limbs, to prevent the stiffness in joints around the fractured area. Shoulder wheel with resistance, weight cuffs, dumbells, resistance bands, resistance tubes, and other types of equipment may be used to improve strength and mobility of the muscles and joints and around the fractured area. Initially
Exercises are done to retrain the joint and muscles that the bone can tolerate the loads and stresses while doing everyday functions. Physiotherapy can help to return to optimum function depending on the severity of the injury.
High-intensity exercises
These are advanced exercises such as doing quick movements, throwing a ball, catching, lifting, etc., and progressively increased resistance exercises are done to increase the overall functional mobility.
