Forearm shaft fractures involve the radial shaft, ulnar shaft, or both bones of the forearm, potentially disrupting forearm stability, rotation, and upper-extremity function. Understanding the relevant functional anatomy and biomechanics is essential for selecting appropriate management strategies, including surgical fixation of isolated radial, ulnar, or both-bone forearm shaft fractures.
