Abstract
Presentation of technical experience and the clinical and functional results of intramedullary fixation of forearm shaft fractures. Between January 1994 and December 2009, a total of 96 patients with 144 radial and/or ulnar fractures (ulna, 33; radius, 15; both, 48) were treated by nailing (True/Flex).
True/Flex intramedullary nailing, because of its minimally invasive approach and close reduction, allows us to minimise the risk of wound and neurovascular complications, especially in proximal shaft fractures of the radius.
