Abstract
This article presents a critical review of the current literature on the stabilization methods of severe open fractures or crush injuries of the forearm. Due to the complexity of the problem, the advantages and disadvantages of the different fixation methods are presented in order to provide the reader with a combination of possibilities for timing and decision-making when confronted with such fractures in clinical practice.
