Functional Outcomes of Neglected Forearm Diaphyseal Fractures Treated Surgically: A Prospective Cohort Study.

Background Unlike other injuries, adult diaphyseal forearm fractures necessitate open reduction and internal fixation. Fixation requires special attention to regaining the pre-injury length of both bones, alignment, proper apposition, and restoration of the radial bow. Although there are not many studies on surgical results for forearm fractures that have initially received indigenous therapy, there are a few studies on the functional outcomes of surgery in forearm malunion and non-union.
