Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Background: In children and adolescents, both-bone forearm fractures have been one of the most prevalent injuries. When an older child requires operative fixation of a forearm fracture. Aim of the work: To assess the clinical and radiographic outcomes of hybrid fixation (ulnar plating and elastic stable intramedullary nailing for the radius the optimal method of stabilization is controversial. Patients and Methods: This randomized controlled trial has been carried out at Bab Al-Sharia (Sayed Galal) university hospital and El Nile hospital. It included 20 adolescent patients who had both-bone forearm diaphyseal fractures. The research lasted from May 2017 to May 2018. Results: The average age of the cases studied has been 12.87 years, with 15 males (75%) and 5 females (25%), respectively. Union has been accomplished in all patients in the current study. The average radius was 6.2 weeks (6–8 weeks). While for ulna the mean was 8.2 weeks (6-14 weeks) delayed union occurred in 2 cases, complete union was reached at 14 weeks with no obvious cause for this delay. The mean postoperative supination range was 83.75º, while mean pronation was 69.5°. Sixteen patients (80.0%) showed excellent outcomes. 3 patients (15%) showed good outcomes. Only one case (5%) showed fair outcome due to limited forearm rotation range and deep wound infection. Conclusion: In skeletally immature patients ranging in age from 10 to 16 years, hybrid fixation is an acceptable, safe, and efficient alternative method of treatment.
