Consequences of a misaligned radius fracture

The consequences of a misalignment of a flexor fracture must be judged by the severity of the misalignment. In the case of a radius fracture, the misalignment is so pronounced that the fracture ends are completely separated or overlapped, which can lead to a deformed healing of the fracture, for example, after healing there is a significant deformity of the forearm at the fracture end. In addition, there is a significant impact on the rotation or flexion and extension of the forearm. If the fracture is close to the wrist or elbow joint, there is a risk of severe sequelae such as joint stiffness or traumatic arthritis and joint dysfunction in these two joints. In addition, if the fracture end is separated, it may lead to slow growth of the bone or even bone discontinuity. However, if the fracture misalignment is very small and the alignment and alignment are relatively good, there are no serious consequences when the fracture grows back.
