The paraskeletal clamp-on plate. Part II. Clinical experience with fractures of the radius and/or ulna.
Clinical experience with 282 fractures of the radius and/or ulna treated by means of the paraskeletal clamp-on plate is presented and compared with results for 66 fractures not operated upon and 31 fractures for which conventional plating methods were used. As far as the healing time (average 12,3 weeks) post-healing joint movements, complication rate, morbidity rate, financial outlay, simplicity and versatility are concerned, the paraskeletal clamp-on plate proved to be greatly superior to conventional methods of internal fixation for forearm fractures.
