Background
- Doesn’t completely eliminate supination / pronation
- either add an anterior splint or use a double sugar-tong if complex or unstable distal forearm fx
Indications
- Elbow and forearm injuries
- Distal humerus fracture
- Both-bone forearm fracture
- Unstable proximal radius or ulna fracture (sugar-tong better)
