الوصف: Aim: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the results of open reduction and Internal fixation of the diaphyseal fractures of both bones forearm with limited contact dynamic compression plate (LC-DCP) in adults and its advantages and complications. Methods: The present study was conducted in the Department of Orthopaedics at SKMCH, Muzaffarpur, Bihar, India for one year. The present study consists of 50 cases of fracture both bones of the forearm. Results: The age of these patients ranged from 18-60 years with fracture being most common in 3rd decade and an average age of 31 years. Other common characteristics were males (80%), right forearm fracture (64%) and injury due to road traffic accidents (60%). Majority of the fractures were seen in the mid diaphysis of both bones. 35 (70%) patients had middle third fractures, 10 (20%) had proximal third fractures and 5 (10%) patients had lower third fractures both bones forearm. Only 10 (20%) of the patients had associated injuries. Majority of the fractures were transverse / short oblique. About 20% of radius and 30% of ulna fractures were comminuted. 45 (90%) patients had sound union in less than 6 months, 5 (10%) patients had delayed union. Postoperative complications such as Superficial Infections (4%), Posterior interosseous nerve injury (6%), Radioulnar synostosis (4%) were noted. Using the Anderson et al. scoring system we had 43 (86%) patients with excellent results, 5 (10%) patients with satisfactory results and 2 (4%) patients with unsatisfactory result (radioulnar synostosis). Conclusion: Advantages of LC-DCP, it facilitates biological fixation of the bone and early bone union. It is easier to apply in comminuted and segmental fracture and short oblique fractures. It gives excellent functional results in the majority of patients. ; Abstract Aim: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the results of open reduction and Internal fixation of the diaphyseal fractures of both bones forearm with limited contact dynamic compression plate ...
