Your forearm is made up of two long bones that sit side by side. The inside bone is called the ulna, and the outside bone is called the radius. You have broken both bones. A fracture means just the same as a break. The bone ends are out of line and may be overlapping. Without an operation, the bones would heal, but not in their correct position. You would not be able to turn your hand from palm up to palm down.
You will have a general anaesthetic, and will be asleep for the whole operation. The surgeon makes two cuts. One will be on the side of your forearm, in line with your little finger, where the ulna is just under the skin. The other will be on the underside of the arm (the palm side). He will move the bone ends into their correct position and then fix them with steel plates and screws. This is called 'open reduction and internal fixation'. There may be a fine plastic drainage tube running from the wound. This is to drain any residual blood form the operation. The skin wound is then closed up wi
Recognising these signs early can help you seek timely treatment and achieve the best possible outcomes.
Persistent pain in the knee, hip, shoulder or spine that limits daily activities, worsens with weight-bearing, and is unresponsive to medications.
Stiffness and inability to fully bend or straighten the affected joint, making simple tasks like climbing stairs or getting up from a chair difficult.
Visible swelling, warmth, and tenderness around the joint — signs of active inflammation or cartilage degeneration requiring specialist evaluation.
Crepitus — a grinding or clicking sound during joint movement — indicating loss of cartilage or presence of loose bodies in the joint space.
Visible joint deformity (knock-knee, bow-leg), leg length discrepancy, or a feeling that the joint may 'give way' under load.
Pain that persists or worsens at rest and disrupts sleep — a key indicator that surgical intervention may be required.
