This chapter covers a selection of orthopaedic procedures involving the forearm and wrist, covering plating of the radius and ulna, and plating and/or K-wiring of the wrist. Each procedure includes images that demonstrate the position of the C-arm, patient, and surgical equipment with accompanying radiographs demonstrating the resulting images. The wrist is one of the most commonly injured regions of the body, as it is used with the hands to protect the body and head when falling. The forearm is more often injured in direct trauma, but any injuries to it may also affect the articulations at the wrist or elbow.
