Abstract
ObjectiveBoth bone forearm fractures are common in children and rare in adults. The main surgical treatment is open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) with plate, while the hybrid fixation of elastic-stable intramedullary nailing (ESIN) and the plate has been rarely reported before.Case reportWe report a case of a 29-year-old male patient with both bone forearm fractures. Temporarily closed reduction and plaster external fixation were performed in the emergency room, and the patient was admitted to the orthopedic trauma ward for surgery. The patient underwent open reduction and plate fixation of the ulna and closed reduction and ESIN fixation of the radius. The fractures healing was satisfactory and the internal fixation was removed 12 months postoperatively.ConclusionThe hybrid fixation of ESIN and plate is an effective option for both bone forearm fractures in adults.
