- Radius and ulnar shaft fractures, also known as adult both bone forearm fractures, are common fractures of the forearm caused by either direct trauma or indirect trauma (fall).
- Diagnosis is made by physical exam and plain orthogonal radiographs.
- Treatment is generally surgical open reduction and internal fixation with compression plating of both the ulna and radius fractures.
