Interosseous membrane of forearm technique may also be applied to acute cases of membrane tears in the forearm due to its low cost and portability. Interosseous membrane of forearm The interosseous membrane of the forearm (rarely middle or intermediate radioulnar joint) is a fibrous sheet that connects the interosseous margins of the radius and the ulna. It is the main part of the radio-ulnar syndesmosis, a fibrous joint between the two bones. The interosseus membrane divides the forearm into anterior and posterior compartments, serves as a site of attachment for muscles of the forearm, and transfers loads placed on the forearm. The interosseous membrane
Bone grafting strontium can result in higher bone mineral density and enhanced osteoblast proliferation in vivo. A synthetic material may be used as a temporary antibiotic spacer before being replaced by a more permanent material. For example, the "Masquelet procedure" consists of initially using PMMA mixed with an antibiotic (vancomycin or gentamicin) for 4–12 weeks, and then replacing the space with an autologous bone graft. It can be used to treat posttraumatic bone defects. Xenograft bone substitute has its origin from a species other than human, such as bovine bone (or recently porcine bone) which can be freeze dried or demineralized and
