Drugs and Biologics

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

1.	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. "
2.	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.	Transplants (Transplant) 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. " 08/01/2000 - "Six patients with severe hand and forearm injuries involving open wounds and exposed structures were treated with reverse radial forearm fascial flaps and split-thickness skin grafts for soft tissue cover. "
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. "
