Abstract
Successful management of radial and ulnar shaft fractures is an essential skill for all orthopaedic surgeons. The frequent presentation of these injuries coupled with the nuanced anatomic considerations that must be observed for successful outcomes dictate that these injuries require a thorough understanding by the treating surgeon. Intraoperative care to restore the anatomic radial bow and rotation is essential for the resumption of functional forearm rotation postinjury. Often, problems arising during the operative treatment of radial and ulnar shaft fractures come in predictable patterns that can be mitigated with preoperative planning and sound technique. Cases of increased complexity with segmental bone defects and soft tissue defects require a variety of advanced reconstructive techniques.
