A 35-year-old female patient with cerebellar ataxia presented with a right periprosthetic both-bone forearm fracture after a ground-level fall. Her surgical history was significant for multiple both-bone forearm fractures treated by open reduction and internal fixation. Subsequent treatment with a combination of intramedullary nailing and plate fixation for each bone provided successful fracture union while allowing immediate return to weight-bearing and range of motion. This case report demonstrates that intramedullary nailing and plate fixation of both-bone forearm fractures provides complete protection of the radius and ulna in recurrent, peri-implant both-bone forearm fractures. This technique is a valuable treatment option in the setting of a patient at risk for recurrent injury of the forearm.

Lateral humeral condyle fractures are common in children, but concomitant elbow dislocation is rare. This case report involves a 10-year-old girl with an ipsilateral distal both-bone forearm fracture and a lateral humeral condyle fracture accompanied by a posterolateral elbow dislocation. Closed reduction of the elbow was performed in the emergency department without delay, and the patient was operated on as soon as possible.

Introduction: Infected gap non-union is a serious complication seen in cases of diaphyseal fracture of forearm bones. It carries high morbidity in the form of severe functional impairment and poses a challenge to treat due to the complex anatomical relationship and articulations involved. Though there are multiple treatment options available, there are no guidelines for its management.

A Comparative Analysis of Magnesium Sulfate Administered Intravenously Versus Perineurally as an Additive to Ropivacaine in Supraclavicular Brachial Plexus Block Under Ultrasound Guidance: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Article Synopsis
- Ultrasound-guided supraclavicular brachial plexus block allows for quick anesthesia in upper limb surgeries, and the study compares the effectiveness of perineural versus intravenous magnesium sulfate as an additive to ropivacaine.
- Ropivacaine is preferred over bupivacaine due to its safer profile, and magnesium sulfate has been shown to lower anesthetic needs and pain relief post-surgery.
- The study involved 50 patients undergoing elective surgeries, detailing methodologies and outcomes such as analgesia duration, sedation onset, and patient safety, aiming to improve pain management strategies.
Derotational Corrective Osteotomy for Pediatric Forearm Malunion: A Case Report.

In this case report, we describe an eight-year-old boy with both-bone forearm diaphyseal fracture that was treated conservatively after closed reduction with manipulation. Nine months after the injury, he returned to consultation, presenting a rotational deformity of the forearm and 20° of pronosupination limitation. He was submitted to corrective osteotomies, using three-dimensional (3D) planning and templating, using a double approach, and fixation with a four screw holes plate in each osteotomy.
