Thelower fragment is fully pronatcd by the pronator quadratus and j)ronator radiiteres, and its upper end is pulled into the interosseous space. There are crepi-tus, mobility, pain, narrowing and thickening of the forearm below the seatof fracture, and loss of the power of pronation and supination. The head ofthe bone is motionless during passive pronation and supination. The hand isprone. Treatment.—In treating this fracture do not put the forearm midway be-tween pronation and supination, as this position will not bring the fragmentsinto contact, the upper fragment remaining flexed and supinated. To bringthe lower fragment in contact with the upper, flex and fully supinate the fore-.
