Abstract
Fractures of the forearm in the athletic population can often result in significant dysfunction if they are not treated correctly. Conservative management of these injuries is often fraught with difficulty. We review current techniques of internal fixation with the goal of allowing the athlete to begin early functional rehabilitation and eventual return to participation. With these goals in mind, functional orthotic management is also reviewed. In addition, recommendations for allowing full participation are given, as well as eventual hardware removal. Verf.-Referat
