The forearm provides the bony structure and muscular origins that allow the hand to operate in many orientations. The two bones of the forearm (the radius and ulna) allow flexion and extension at the elbow and the wrist via diarthrodial joints. The radius and ulna exist in a delicate anatomical balance that allows for pronation and supination of the hand in a 180-degree arc of motion. This activity will briefly review the mechanism, diagnosis, and management of radius and ulna shaft fractures. Radius and ulna shaft fractures are one of the most common orthopedic injuries. Therefore, familiarity with these topics is necessary for the interprofessional team in academic and community settings.
