Jason PY - 2021 T2 - The Atlas of Emergency Medicine, 5e AB - Fractures of the wrist and elbow usually involve a fall onto the outstretched arm, while isolated fractures of the ulnar shaft are more commonly from a direct blow. AP and lateral views of the wrist, forearm, and elbow are required when a forearm fracture is suspected. Functional hand deficits can identify the possibility of an occult injury to forearm neurovascular structures, which could require immediate surgical intervention.
