Treatment of Fractures Performed With Biomaterials in the Arm and Forearm

Arm fractures are a common problem in contemporary orthopedics, often requiring surgery to ensure proper healing and restoration of function in the affected limb. Biomaterials have become an essential component in the treatment of these fractures, providing structural support and facilitating bone healing. In this article, we describe the various types of biomaterials used in fixing arm fractures, including metals, polymers, ceramics, and other promising materials. From durable steels and metal alloys to absorbable polymers and innovative carbon-based biomaterials, we examine the pros and cons of each type of material, along with case studies and future perspectives in this field. By synthesizing current knowledge and recent research, this article provides a comprehensive insight into the use of biomaterials in the treatment of arm fractures, facilitating the understanding and continuous development of modern orthopedic practice.
