	Forearm (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The forearm is the structure on the upper limb[?], between the elbow[?] and the wrist.
		The forearm contains many muscles, including the flexors and extensors of the digits, a flexor of the elbow (brachioradialis), and pronators and supinators that turn the hand to face upwards or down.
		The main superficial veins of the forearm are the cephalic vein[?], the median antebrachial[?] and the basilic vein[?].

	Forearm and Distal Radius Fractures in Children (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		It is important to have a basic understanding of the forces leading to forearm fracture, as reductions are often performed in the direction opposite to that of the initial injury.
		Forearm radiographs are examined to determine fracture pattern (complete or greenstick), location (proximal, middle, or distal third), displacement, angulation, and rota- tion.
		Greenstick fractures are reduced by rotating the forearm and palm toward the apex of the deformity.

	THE FOREARM (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		In fractures in the middle third of the radius and ulna, the proximal fragment is held in midprone position due to balancced action of the supinator and pronator.
		Fractures of both bones of the forearm with displacemnt are some of the difficult ones to treat as maintenance of reduction in plaster is often difficult due to instability.
		It is due to a fall associated with forcible pronation of the forearm or direct violence on the posterior aspect of the proximal forearm.

	Forearm Workout
		Forearms are certainly one of the more abandoned muscle groups among the moderate weightlifters and fitness fanatics.
		But to the more hardcore bodybuilders, however, working forearms is an essential part of your workout regiment, because just like George Foreman, they can pack a whale of a punch.
		You should stop when your forearms are completely contracted, which means that your hands should be across from your shoulders.

		Although testing blood sugar levels using a forearm prick produces readings similar to those obtained from a fingerstick when levels are high or normal, it may overestimate blood sugar levels when they are low, according to two brief reports in the medical journal Diabetes Care.
		Measurements were made using blood taken from the fingertip, the fleshy part of the palm, and the forearm, every five minutes for 70 minutes.
		The lowest blood sugar values recorded were 37 at the fingertip, 38 at the palm, and 50 at the forearm.

		Forearm fractures in older persons are associated with increased risk of future vertebral and hip fractures.
		Forearm radiographs, which include distal joints, are inadequate for absolutely excluding associated wrist and elbow injuries, as diagnosis of radioulnar dislocation requires the x-ray beam to be centered at the joint.
		Prognosis for recovery of forearm fractures (ie, good bony union, maintenance of function) is related to severity and type of fracture and is optimized by treating fractures early and appropriately.

		The final general category of forearm muscles is the forearm extensors, or the smaller bundle of muscles on the outer sides of your forearms.
		It is also possible to have high forearms - that is, to have a relatively short muscle belly and a long tendon, limiting the cubic volume of the muscle mass.
		With this kind of forearm, it is possible to build the muscles up to where they are proportionate to the upper arm, but you have to train them hard to do so.

		The tissue from the forearm harvested as a radial forearm flap allows various head and neck defects to be reconstructed with a vascularized, thin, pliable piece of fascia and skin.
		Presence of an ipsilateral arteriovenous (AV) shunt in a patient with persistent renal failure is an absolute contraindication to a forearm flap; the presence of a contralateral AV shunt is a relative contraindication to surgery.
		Harvesting the radial forearm flap in the subfascial plane is relatively safe.

		With the arms to the side and palms facing the body, deviation is the wrists ability to bring the thumb vertically to the forearms and the 5th finger to the rear of the forearm.
		I would also mention that forearm training should be done the last day of the training cycle, or at least after all upper body work is done and after any hitting or throwing drills.
		Although the two most commonly used forearm exercise are wrist curls and reverse wrist curls (flexion and extension of the wrist), gripping strength and the less commonly known deviation should be the priority if one is to optimize forearm training.
