Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Forearm Injuries:

1.	Warfarin (Coumadin)FDA LinkGeneric 03/01/2023 - "Pronator syndrome (PS) is a rare type of peripheral compression neuropathy in which the median nerve becomes entrapped as it passes through the pronator teres muscle at the proximal forearm. We report an unusual case of acute PS in a 78-year-old patient on warfarin who presented after traumatic forearm injury with forearm swelling, pain, and paresthesias. After emergent nerve decompression and hematoma evacuation, the patient regained near complete recovery of median nerve function six months after diagnosis and treatment."
2.	TitaniumIBA 04/01/2023 - "The 3D-Printed Titanium Truss Cage for the Treatment of Concurrent Complex Malunion, Synostosis and Large Bone Defect Following Forearm Injuries: A Case Report."
3.	Nylons (Nylon)IBA 07/01/1989 - "Patency rates were not significantly affected by age or sex of the patient, level of forearm injury, total tourniquet time, treatment delay, or the diameter of nylon suture used for arterial repair. "
4.	Anesthetics (Anesthetic Agents)IBA 12/01/2023 - "The degree of pain relief obtained through regional anesthetic procedures, on a nominal rating scale from 0 to 10, was 4 to 7 points for acute back and chest wall pain, >6 for shoulder pain, 5 to 7 for hand and forearm injuries, and >4 for hip fractures. "
5.	insulin receptor-related receptor (IRR)IBA 01/01/2023 - "The IRR of medical attention injuries for males compared to females was higher for lumbosacral stress fractures (IRR 2.3), elbow and forearm injuries (1.5), and concussion (1.4), and lower for lower leg, foot, and ankle stress fractures (0.6), shoulder and upper arm injuries (0.7), and quadriceps strains (0.6). "
6.	N 30IBA 01/01/2022 - "The patients were divided into the wrist injury group (n=30) and forearm injury group (n=20) according to the location of laceration. "
7.	A-factor (Streptomyces)IBA 10/01/2008 - "For all 3 anatomic locations, game injuries were much more common than practice injuries by a factor of 2.8 to 1. Forearm injuries led to a mean of 42 days lost, wrist injuries led to a mean of 27 days lost, and elbow injuries led to an average of 22 days lost. "

Therapies and Procedures

1.	Free Tissue Flaps 11/01/2011 - "Despite recent advances in compound flaps, in selected cases it might be wise to harvest several smaller flaps and microsurgically combine them to one "chain-linked" flap "system." Four microsurgically fabricated chimeric free flaps were used in four patients for complex hand and forearm injuries. " 11/01/2011 - "Devastating hand and forearm injuries almost exclusively need free flap transfer if reconstruction is attempted. " 11/01/2011 - "The role of fabricated chimeric free flaps in reconstruction of devastating hand and forearm injuries." 04/01/1992 - "Free flaps in the reconstruction of hand and distal forearm injuries."
2.	Denervation 03/01/2016 - "Six patients with forearm injuries involving the superficial sensory branch of radial nerve underwent either neurolysis (3) or neurectomy (3). " 01/01/2009 - "Patients were divided by age in two groups, below 25 and over 25 years, by injury level in the distal and proximal forearm injuries, by the length of autograft up to 5 cm and other group with graft length over 5 cm, by the period between injury and operation in group with denervation time up to 6 months and the group with denervation time over 6 months. "
3.	Air Bags (Airbags) 01/01/2008 - "The increase in upper extremity injuries in automobile collisions, because of the widespread implantation of airbags, has lead to a better understanding of forearm injury criteria. "
4.	Traction 04/01/1958 - "[Counter-traction apparatus for treatment of forearm injuries]."
5.	Tourniquets 07/01/1989 - "Patency rates were not significantly affected by age or sex of the patient, level of forearm injury, total tourniquet time, treatment delay, or the diameter of nylon suture used for arterial repair. "
