  • Title: Forearm fractures. Early functional bracing - A preliminary report.
    Author: Sarmiento A, Cooper JS, Sinclair WF.
    Journal: J Bone Joint Surg Am; 1975 Apr; 57(3):297-304. PubMed ID: 1123380.
    Abstract:
    Forty-five fractures of the forearm in forty-three patients were treated with a functional below-the-elbow brace applied three to forty-two days after injury, at a median time of fifteen days. The brace permitted flexion and extension of the wrist and elbow while limiting pronation and supination of the forearm during the fracture's reparative period. The results were rewarding, with only one non-union and minimum impairment of function in the overwhelming majority of cases.
