7.

Fracture of the radius shaft

7.1.

Good alignment, straight axis, no shortening, relatively normal function of the forearm

6- 10

7.2.

Poorly-aligned bone, skewed axis or short limb causing dislocation of the radial - ulnar joint and limited flexion - extension function

21-25

9.

Fracture of the lower part of the radial head (Pouteau - Colles type)

9.1.

Good treatment outcome

6- 10

9.2.

Limited movement of the wrist, wrist

11-15

10.

Fracture of the shaft of the ulna

10.1.

Good alignment, straight axis, no impact on the function of the wrist

6- 10

10.2.

Poor alignment, skewed axis or both ends of the fracture attached to the radial head causing loss of supination, wrist extension

16-20

11.

Fracture of the upper 1/3 of the ulna and dislocation of the radial head (Monteggia type fracture) without leaving sequelae

* Note: If stiffness of the elbow joint sequelae is left: Calculate the percentage of disability according to section IV.3.2.

6-10

12.

Fracture of the radial styloid or ulnar styloid does not affect the movement of the wrist joint

* Note: If it affects the movement of the wrist joint, calculate the percentage of disability according to the degree of limitation of wrist joint movement.
