With mechanized farming in India and industrialization, both bone forearm fractures have become common. If the fractures are treated inadequately, it may result in severe loss of function. So, in order to restore function, anatomical reduction and internal fixation is necessary. Union may be achieved with any of the methods available; however, severe loss of function may be the end result unless adequately treated with proper technique and implants. With the development of compression plate osteosynthesis which provides a good treatment option and predictable outcome, there is an important change in the treatment of forearm fractures. This method helps in perfect reduction of fracture fragments in anatomical position by rigid fixation and early mobilization, the normal functions of the hand can be achieved at the earliest
