Both bones forearm fixation by LC-DCP

Forearm fracture, LC-DCP, DCPAbstract
Background: The forearm is a crucial component of the upper limb’s anatomy because it enables the hand, the upper limb’s
effector organ, to carry out multiaxial everyday activities. Poor functional outcome, non-union, and rotational deformity follow
conservative reduction of fracture BBFA. Hence, keeping the rotation in place requires precise reduction (supination and pronation).
Limited contact dynamic compression plate (LC-DCP) is used by ORIF to do this. LC-DCP is a revolutionary method of fixing
plates that reduces bone trauma, preserves blood flow, prevents stress raisers caused by implant removal, and promotes faster
healing. To determine the benefits and drawbacks of LCDCP treatment for BBFA diaphyseal fractures, this study is being conducted.
Materials and Methods: After getting their permission, patients who were admitted to the Vijayanagara Institute of Medical Sciences
in Ballari were taken for research. This study, which will run from December 2017 to April 2019, is prospective. Results: This study
includes 40 BBFA fracture instances. All casings were internally fixed with 3.5 mm LCDCP and publicly decreased. Age ranged
from 18 to 60 years, with the second and third decades seeing the highest prevalence of fractures (Average 41). O of 40 patients,
30 patients (or 75% of them) were men and 10 patients (or 25%) were women. Left side affected 24 patients (60%) and right side
affected 16 patients (40%). Injury mechanism 20 RTA (50%) and 16 (40%) with 4 (10%) assaults. 4 (10%) patients had delayed
union, while 36 (90%) patients achieved good union in <6 months. Anderson’s scoring methodology was used to assess the results.
With this rating system, 32 (80%) of our patients had great outcomes. Three patients (7.5%) had an unsatisfactory outcome, while
five (12.5%) patients had one (radioulnar synostosis). infection on the surface 5 (10%) damaged posterior interosseous nerve 2 (5%)
(5% radioulnar synostosis). Conclusion: By promoting biological, rigid fixation and early bone union with excellent radiological
and functional outcomes in the majority of patients, LC-DCP has been found to be superior to other modes of treatment. It can be
regarded as the best implant for fracture fixation of closed both bone diaphyseal fracture forearm in adults.
