Abstract (2. Language):
BACKGROUND: This article reports the efficacy of Dynamic compression plate versus Locking compression plate with
regards to forearm bone fracture fixation, implant fixation, intra-operative & post-operative complications of the surgical
intervention.
SUBJECTS & METODS: 40 patients with a history of traumatic fracture of forearm bone were included in the study who
reported in our Hospital.
RESULTS: In a study of 40 cases of forearm bone fractures, 20 (Group A) were treated with DCP and 20 ( Group B) were
treated with Locking compression plate.All the 40 patients were followed up at 4-6 weeks , 11-14 weeks and 6 months for
functional and radiological review.
CONCLUSION: The locking compression plating of diaphyseal bones produced excellent results, the advantages being
early mobilization, early union and hence prevention of fracture disease. The only disadvantage is that it is more expensive
than the Dynamic compression plate.
