The study was carried out with sample size 30 patients of mid-shaft fracture of radius and ulna. Out of them 15 were treated by DCP and screws and 15 patients were treated by LCP and screws.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>In this study mean age in group I was 32.63±9.42 and in group II was 37.54+7.12. Male patients were 17 and female were 13 in number. Motor vehicle accident was the commonest cause of fracture found in 60% in group-I and 73.33% in group-II. In group-I, out of 15 cases all cases (100%) united with mean time of 15.87 ± 3.89 weeks. In group-II, out of 15 cases all (100%) cases united with the mean time of 14.0 ± 2.27 weeks. There was no major complication in both groups. Regarding the final outcome, excellent results in group-I were achieved with 11 (73.33%) cases while in group-II with 12 (80.00%) cases. Satisfactory results were seen in 04 (26.67%) cases in group-I and 03 (20.00%) cases in group-II.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>On the statistical point of view there was no significant difference between dynamic compression plate group and locking compression plate group for the treatment of mid-shaft fracture radius and ulna.</p><p>J Shaheed Suhrawardy Med Coll, December 2019, Vol.11(2); 106-109</p> ER -
