Hi,
Thanks for query,
It depends upon what part of radius or ulna is affected whether upper,middle or lower 1/3 rd part is affected.
If simple fracture with regular linear,plate will be better,if small multiple fractures are there nailing is advisable.
So let the orthopedic take decision.
Ok and bye.
