ROTATIONAL DEFORMITY IN THE TREATMENT OF FRACTURES OF BOTH BONES OF THE FOREARM

E. MERVYN EVANS 1

1 British Military Hospital, Middle East Forces

1. A method is described whereby the correct rotational position in which to immobilize a fracture of both bones of the forearm may be determined.

2. All the fractures illustrated, which include fractures of the upper and lower thirds, show a rotational position well on the supination side of the mid-position.

3. The method may also be used to determine the degree of rotational error in united fractures.

Though no conclusions can be drawn from such a small number of cases, and under Active Service conditions a large series is difficult to obtain, the writer believes that all such fractures should be immobilized in some degree of supination.
