Forearm Shaft Fractures: Plating of Radius and Ulna Versus Plating of Radius and Nailing of Ulna

Stopped early · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Fractures of Radius and Ulna

In brief

The hypothesis is that intramedullary nailing of the ulna and plating of the radius will result in a superior outcome as evidenced by two primary end points: 1. a lower rate of implant pain 2. a lower re-operation rate to remove painful hardware.
