A few cases reported simultaneous ipsilateral distal and proximal forearm fractures. This case report highlights a rare mechanism of injury that occurred due to extended forearm undergoing forced hyper-supination without the presence of ligamentous injury and the use of flexible fixation. A 49-year-old male truck driver presented to the emergency department as a motor vehicle accident (MVA) patient. A radiographic examination revealed a right forearm fracture with proximal and distal bone fractures. The distal radius was stabilized with three Kirschner wires (K-wires), and the radial neck fracture was stabilized with a single intramedullary K-wire. The olecranon and distal ulna fractures were also fixed with two intramedullary wires. On the eighth week after surgery, all K-wires were removed, and the fiberglass splint was reapplied for another two weeks. After the cast was removed, physical rehabilitation began. During the fourth month, a follow-up radiograph revealed complete healing and full wrist range of motion (ROM) with good hand grip.
有几例报告显示同侧前臂远端和近端同时发生骨折。本病例报告强调了一种罕见的损伤机制,该机制是由于前臂伸展时遭受强迫性过度旋前,且不存在韧带损伤,并采用了弹性固定。一名49岁的男性卡车司机作为机动车事故(MVA)患者被送往急诊科。影像学检查显示右前臂骨折,伴有近端和远端骨折。桡骨远端用三根克氏针(K针)固定,桡骨颈骨折用一根髓内K针固定。尺骨鹰嘴和尺骨远端骨折也用两根髓内针固定。术后第八周,取出所有K针,再次应用玻璃纤维夹板两周。拆除石膏后,开始进行物理康复。在第四个月时,随访X线片显示骨折完全愈合,腕关节活动范围(ROM)完全恢复,握力良好。
