Radius and ulnar shaft fractures, also known as adult both bone forearm fractures, are common fractures of the forearm caused by either direct trauma or indirect trauma (fall).
Diagnosis is made by physical exam and plain orthogonal radiographs.
Treatment is generally surgical open reduction and internal fixation with compression plating of both the ulna and radius fractures.

The ESIN method involves closed reduction and internal fixation with an elastic nail.

This method is a commonly used treatment option for displaced and/or unstable fractures of the forearm.

It can be used in any age group and any combination of fracture types.
