Résumé
In the last two decades, a strong interest on the interosseous membrane (IOM) has developed. The authors present a review of the new concepts regarding the understanding of forearm physiology and pathology, with current trends in the surgical management of these rare and debilitating injuries. Anatomical and biomechanical studies have clarified the anatomy of forearm constrains and their role in forearm longitudinal and transverse stability. The radial pull test, a new intraoperative test, has been developed that might increase the detection on IOM injuries. The forearm is now considered a "functional unit" and, consequently, a new classification has been proposed. Uncommon variants and rare patterns of forearm fracture dislocations have been reported in the literature and could not be classified to those commonly referred to using eponyms (Monteggia, Galeazzi, Essex-Lopresti). The new Artiaco et al. classification includes all injury patterns, thus avoids confusion in the nomenclature, and helps surgeon with detection of lesions and guiding surgical treatment. Based on the new classification and after current literature review, authors propose a management flowchart for treatment of forearm instability injuries.
