Abstract
This study investigated the effects and incidence of non union rates in the management of diaphyseal forearm fractures treated with dynamic compression plates(DCP) ands locking plates. The study included 20 patients of forarm diaphyseal both bone fractures, camt to our orthopaedics department in Sree Mookambika Institute of medical sciences treated surgically, out of which 10 patients were done with dynamic compression plating and 10 patients with locking plates. The mean age of the study was 40 Out of 20 patients,10 patients achieved proper union irrespective of the plating system.8 patients reported non union treated with locking plates and 2 patients reported treated with DCP. These findings were revealed that non union rates are higher in locking plates when compared to dynamic compression plating system.
