FOREARM An explanation of the frequency of fractures in the fore-arm is given by its function in the performance of workand in protecting the body against injuries. We distin-guish between fractures of the forearm—that is, of bothbones—and isolated fractures of the ulna and radius alone. (A) Fracture of Both Bones of the Forearm (Frac-tura Antibrachii) This fracture is usually the result of direct violence,either a fall or a blow. In children infractions withbending of the forearm (greenstick fractures) are common. Symptoms.—As a rule, the presence of a fracture is atonce suggested by the angular deformity {ad axin); oncareful examination abnormal mobility and crepitation arefound. As the fractures preferably aflPect the middlethird of the fonsarm, these phenomena can, as a rule, bedemonstrated with ease and positiveness. Fractures ofthe forearm bones near their lower end will be discussed FRACTURES OF THE UPPER EXTREMITY. 197.
