“…Nonunion of forearm fractures is a really challenging complication for both orthopedic surgeons and the patient themselves. In forearm fractures, a reliable, anatomical reduction is usually achieved using plates [ 5 ]. Success rates can reach or exceed 90% [ 2 , 6 , 7 , 8 ], while other operative techniques such as i.m.…”

“…Factors related to fracture (comminution, open fracture, location of the fracture, and state of soft tissue), patient (age, smoking, and additional diseases), and initial treatment (implant used and surgical technique) have been held responsible for forearm non-union [ 3 , 14 , 15 ]. During surgery, essential steps that have to be followed, which were all done during our operation, are removal of failed implant with simultaneous debridement of devitalized tissue, respect to blood supply and fixation with proper alignment and rotation [ 5 , 15 ]. Use of autografts in the treatment of nonunion of the long bones is still a matter of debate.…”

Introduction: Forearm non-unions pose a significant treatment challenge to orthopedic surgeons. Repetitive treatment failures can lead to a devastating situation for the patient. Forearm function influences both elbow and wrist proper function. Case Report: A functionless hand is presented, describing a longstanding non-union, treated with multiple surgeries before. A thorough debridement with respect to blood supply and local biology are of major importance before applying the locking plates along with the use of bone-graft. The reconstruction of the forearm converted a functionless arm to a fully functioning arm and the patient returned eventually to her previous activities. Conclusion: Fixation with locking plates combined with the use of autograft can lead to very satisfactory results even in extraordinary cases, especially when attention is paid to local anatomy and blood supply. Keywords: Forearm nonunion, locking plates, multiple surgeries.

The analysis of modern domestic and foreign literature on the issues of surgical treatment of patients with diaphyseal forearm fractures is presented in the article, the main problems at these injuries are noted. The analysis has been carried out on the basis of databases of medical publications of CyberLeninka, eLibrary, PubMed and biliary databases. The treatment of complicated diaphyseal forearm fractures in the form of nonunions, pseudoarthrosis, defects and malunion is serious problem in traumatology and orthopaedics, because according to the literature data, unsatisfactory results in the treatment of this pathology reach 2047%. This problem requires the development and implementation of modern functional methods of treatment, which would allow to combine the period of restoration of segment integrity with the period of rehabilitation without risk of osteosynthesis instability and nonunion. The problem of choosing the optimal tactics and methods of surgical fixation of these lesions remains a subject for discussion, which is the basis for scientific research on optimization of tactics and methods of surgical treatment of patients with consequences of diaphyseal forearm fractures.
