The patient is positioned supine with the arm prepped anddraped to just above the elbow and a tourniquet in place.This figure demonstrates the arm held in supination. Note theposition of the biceps insertion as well as the palpable tendon
of the FCR and radial artery.

A useful technique to make the skin incision is to take a bovicord and pull it taught from the radial side of the biceps tendonto the FCR at the level of the wrist. This can then be used asa template for the incision line.

The incision is taken down through the skin, identifying the fasciallayer with care taken not to damage any superficial veins that maybe intact. The FCR tendon is clearly visible throughout the wound,as is the radial artery in the distal extent of the wound.

The radial artery may be taken in either direction, however,
typically it is easier to take the artery to the radial side.

The deep dissection is now performed between the flexor-pronator mass on the ulnar side and the artery and themobile wad on the radial side.

PRONATOR
For the proximal dissection, the forearm is brought intosupination and the pronator, FDS and FDP are released
from the volar aspect of the radius

FDS
The pronator is being released from the radial aspect of theradius in a subperiosteal manner. This subperiostealdissection continues distally to release the origin of the
common flexor.

After exposure of the volar aspect of the radius proximallyand distally, two clamps can be placed on the ends of thebone in order to deliver them for cleaning.

Each side of the fracture is be delivered in order toexpose and clean the cortical edges.

These figures demonstrate delivery of the distal fragment and acurved curette being used to clean the cortical edge. Nocleaning should be performed within the intramedullarycanal,as this is healthy tissue and can be useful for the healing
process.

Once the fractures are completely cleaned along their corticaledges such that the fracture reduction can be visualized, the twoclamps are used to reduce the fracture. If a butterfly fragmentexists, it is necessary to fix this with a lag screw back to one of
the fracture ends in order to realign the fracture.

In the current case, the fracture is a simple pattern and is reducedby delivering the bones jointly, accentuating the deformity and thenrotating and fitting the bones together with progressive compressionwhile pushing the bones back into the wound, obtaining alignmentby steric interference of one side against the other.

Once the bones are held reduced, as seen in the followingsequence, an appropriate dynamic compression plate isplaced and held in place with a clamp. It is important thatthis plate must have the appropriate bend for the volaraspect of the forearm so as not to gap open the dorsal sideas the plate is fixed to the bone. Thus, it should be slightlyunderbent with respect to the standard volar concavity.

These figures demonstrate reduction of the fracture with a plateheld in place on the flat, volar aspect of the bone.Once the reduction is confirmed fixation of the plate is performedusing a compressive technique through the plate.

The following sequence demonstrates using the offset drillguide to place an eccentrically drilled hole away from thefracture. The screw is placed to the point where it abuts
but is not inserted completely within the plate until it isaffixed on the other side.

In a similar fashion to the first screw, the second screw is placedon the opposite side of the fracture, also eccentrically away from
the fracture. By compressing these two screws against the platethe fracture is translated and compressed together as shown inthe following sequence.

This image shows that the fracture is also compressed on the oppositeside due to proper contouring of the plate. Once the radius is fixed, theulna is approached using a standard subcutaneous longitudinal incision
with the arm flexed, as seen in the next image.

These images demonstrate the superficial dissection downto the fascia directly over the ulna, which is the commonfascia between the flexor carpi ulnaris and the extensor
carpi ulnaris. This is divided in line with the muscles directlyover the subcutaneous border of the ulna.

This is cleaned, reduced and fixed in exactly the same fashion asthe radius was, using a 6-hole DCP plate and in compressive mode.These images show the plate in place with screw holes, allowing forcompression in the final compressed fracture.
