The pathophysiology of a forearm fracture involves the disruption of bone integrity due to an excessive force, which can be classified as either a traumatic or pathological fracture. When the force exceeds the bone's tensile or compressive strength, it results in a break, causing pain, swelling, and loss of function. The fracture triggers a biological response, leading to inflammation and the formation of a hematoma at the fracture site, followed by the activation of osteoblasts and chondroblasts for bone healing. Over time, the fracture site undergoes remodeling as the bone heals and returns to its original strength.
A fracture is a pathophysiology. It is not a psychodynamic phenomenon.

A Colles' fracture is typically associated with osteoporosis. The fracture occurs in the forearm and is also called a "dinner fork" fracture.
The forearm only has 2 bones: the radius and the ulna.

A sugar-tong splint is recommended for a forearm fracture. To apply it for optimal support and healing, place the splint under the forearm and wrap it securely with bandages, making sure to immobilize the wrist and elbow.
