Abstract
Background: The incidence of forearm fractures has increased rapidly over the past few years as a consequence of industrial accidents, interpersonal assaults, road traffic accidents, sports injuries, etc. The advantages of Closed or mini-open reduction using screw intramedullary nail and stable fixation include short duration and low-cost of surgery, 3 point fixation, and satisfactory union of the fracture. This study aims to assess the clinical, radiological, and functional outcomes of forearm bone fractures treated by Screw intramedullary nails.
 Materials and Methods: This will be a Prospective Observational study conducted on 25 skeletally mature patients reporting to the dept. of Orthopedics, AVBRH, Wardha. Patients with fracture of radius and ulna together or single bone diaphyseal fracture in the forearm will be enrolled in the study. The findings will be analyzed using parameters proposed by Anderson et. al. scoring system for functional assessment and radiological union. Statistical analysis would be done to conclude the findings.
 Expected Results: Significant clinical, radiological, and functional outcomes of forearm bone fractures treated by Screw intramedullary nail are expected.
