Overview
The forearm (ulnar and/or radial) fracture have been accompanied with humanity throughout its history.
Historical Perspective
Here we have the historical perspective of the forearm fracture during the mankind history[1][2][3]:
In 3000 BC- One of the first attempts of documented forearm fracture can be found in an ancient Egyptian mummy with a fracture of forearm treated with wooden splints. Also egyptians were the first one described reduction of fractures and the using wood splints and bandages for immobilization.
In 400 BC, the Greek physician Hippocrates of Kos have described forearm splinting in his medical handwriting. Using the linen roll bandages to stabilize fractures. He also created ointment of lard or oil mixed with wax, rosin, and pitch for the skin and stiffen the bandage.
In 50, Celsus a roman physician described four signs of inflammation: rubor, tumor, calor, and dolar. He also used the local bandages and applications during the first week after injury followed by a gutter splint.
In 160 AD, Galen a roman physician described the spica (ear of corn) bandage. He named this bandage due to its pattern which looked like the head of wheat or barley.
In 1000 AD, Albucasis Al-Zahrawi described the plaster to immobilize fractured limbs. this plaster was consisted of pulse, gum-mastic, acacia, elecampane, mughath, sukk, myrrh, aloe, clay, water, or egg white.
In 1267 AD, Theodoric introduced the importance of anatomic reduction and alignment of fractures, maintenance of alignment with binding, and application of bandages soaked in egg whites, pads, and cushions followed by splints of wood.
In 1579, Paré in described an open fracture of the forearm.
In 1814, the Italian physician Monteggia described fracture of the proximal shaft of the ulna associated with dislocation of the radial head.
In 1821, Barton described a greenstick fracture in children. He also described the the dorsal and the volar marginal shearing fracture of the distal radius which nowadays named for him.
In 1847, the French surgeon Malgaigne described in detail numerous patterns of forearm fractures Malgaigne also presented a detailed demographic breakdown of fractures in terms of age and sex.
In 1923, Helferich a German surgeon in the third edition of his atlas presented a fracture of the proximal ulna associated with dislocation of the radial head.
In 1934, the Italian surgeon Galeazzi described a fracture of the distal third of the radius associated with dislocation of the ulnar head in the distal radioulnar joint.
