الوصف: Aim: The aim of the present study was to analyse the functional outcome of diaphyseal fractures of both bones of forearm in adults after fixation with dynamic compression plate at a tertiary care center. Methods: The present study was retrospective, case record-based study, conducted in Department of Orthopaedics for the period of 2 years. 50 cases satisfying study criteria were considered for study. Cases operated for management of diaphyseal forearm fractures treated by open reduction and internal fixation with dynamic compression plate was considered for this study. Results: The age of these patients ranged from 18-60 years, had mean age of 36.04 ± 8.84 years. 72% were male and 28% were females. In present study right sided injuries (64%) were common, common mode of injury was RTA (66%). Majority of the fractures were seen in the middle 1/3rd (46%), were simple fractures (52%) and closed (86%). Majority of fractures were healed in less than 4 months (72%), followed by 4-6 months (20%). Mean time required for fracture union was 16.34 ± 3.78 weeks. Postoperative complications such as Superficial Infections (4%) and radioulnar synostosis (4%) were noted in two patients each. Using the Anderson scoring system, at 6 months follow-up, 84% patients had excellent results, 12% patients had satisfactory results and 2 (4%) patients had unsatisfactory result (radioulnar synostosis). Conclusion: Open reduction and internal fixation with dynamic compression plate had excellent functional outcome in the majority of patients, maintain rotational stability and length and early mobilization of elbow and wrist joint and had minimum complications ; Aim: The aim of the present study was to analyse the functional outcome of diaphyseal fractures of both bones of forearm in adults after fixation with dynamic compression plate at a tertiary care center.
