New simple unicortex locking intramedullary fixation of forearm shaft fracture: A Case report

Abstract

We have used nonlocking nails in patients with small intramedullary canals for the fixation of segmental fractures of the radius and ulna. We report a patient with the Monteggia fracture dislocation (the ulnar shaft segmental fracture) treated by new simple unicortex locking intramedullary fixation.
