Open reduction and plate fixation is generally the treatment of choice for the diaphyseal forearm fractures and has been accepted as the best choice in many studies. But the concern of periosteal stripping, haematoma evacuation, nonunion and infection always loom and may result in delayed union and complications related to the surgery.
Though Screw intramedullary nails have been reported in the literature for the fracture of the forearm bones, it’s utility was overlooked in segmental fractures of the radius and ulna [1].
We report a case of Screw IM nail in the treatment of segmental diaphyseal fracture of ulna and diaphyseal shaft of radius in adults which provided excellent outcomes in terms of cosmesis and function.
