Repair of Diaphyseal Radius and Ulna Fractures Using a Modified Type I External Skeletal Fixator and Ulnar Intramedullary Pin

A modified type I external skeletal fixator and intramedullary pin was successfully used to repair radius and ulna fractures. The technique was developed in order to provide technically simple but rigid stabilization that minimized soft tissue disruption. The technique is described along with the results in a variety of fracture types.
