Forty-five fractures of the forearm in forty-three patients were treated with a functional below-the-elbow brace applied three to forty-two days after injury, at a median time of fifteen days. The brace permitted flexion and extension of the wrist and elbow while limiting pronation and supination of the forearm during the fracture's reparative period. The results were rewarding, with only one non-union and minimum impairment of function in the overwhelming majority of cases.
43例患者的45处前臂骨折采用肘下功能性支具治疗，于受伤后3至42天应用，中位时间为15天。该支具允许腕关节和肘关节屈伸，同时在骨折修复期限制前臂的旋前和旋后。结果令人满意，绝大多数病例仅出现1例骨不连，且功能损害极小。
