Abstract
Forearm fractures are seen by the orthopaedic team either in the emergency department or in the fracture clinic. Injuries which include the more proximal or distal joints are rare but can lead to disabling consequences if missed. In this article we discuss the anatomy, classifications systems and management of these less common upper limb fractures.
