The great majority of forearm fractures in adults are best treated by open reduction and internal fixation. Although alternative methods exist, plate fixation is favored by most surgeons. With strict attention to surgical detail, complication rates are low and early active function is possible. The treatment of high-energy, open fractures can include various techniques such as internal or external fixation. Refracture remains the greatest risk following hardware removal, which is not necessary for all patients.
