FOREARM FRACTURES

FOREARM FRACTURES

The forearm is made up of two bones, the radius and ulna. In most cases of forearm fractures, both bones are broken. Forearm bones can break in many ways. The fracture when bone fragments stick out through the skin is called an open fracture, which is dangerous because of the risk of infection. On the contrary, a closed fracture is the broken bone that does not penetrate the skin. The most common causes of forearm fractures include direct blow, fall on an outstretched arm and motor or car accident. There is impossible to miss this fracture. When it occurs, the limb is swollen, bruised and painful. Also, the upper limb’s mobility is limited.

The treatment of open fracture is surgery. In case of closed fractures the bones are first repositioned into their normal alignment and immobilized. It does not matter which way of treatment is chosen. The effective immobilization is essential. Due to the fact, that forearm is connected with elbow and wrist, the forearm stabilization is possible only by immobilization of the wrist and elbow. In addition, the forearm may be rotated when radius goes around the ulna which does not move. In case of fracture, the rotational motion should be reduced. It is possible with using our professional AM-SL-03 upper limb orthosis which provides wrist immobilization and reduces the forearm rotation. What is more, the brace allows to adjust required position of rotation and ulnar or radial deviation.

Product’s description

Upper limb brace AM-SL-03 is a professional product for perfect stabilization and elbow, wrist and forearm immobilization. It is our unique solution which is much better and safer than traditional cast immobilization. First of all, the brace provides perfect adjustment of joint’s angles what improves healing. Secondly, the forearm fracture is often connected with blood vessels damage. putting the limb into the cast may result in necrosis. Our brace provides perfect monitoring of the skin’s condition and prevents against the dangerous necrosis.

The elbow part has adjuster of forearm rotation. This smooth adjustment allows to place forearm in the required position. The adjuster is above the olecranon and the access and the adjustment are very easy. There is only necessary to turn the dial for placing the forearm pronation, supination or in the neutral position. The adjuster is equipped with comfort termoformated pad which reduces the pressure on the bones and nerves in the elbow area.
