Poor reliability and reproducibility of 3 different radiographical classification systems for distal ulna fractures [PDF]
Acta Orthopaedica, 2022 Background and purpose: Classification of fractures can be valuable for research purposes but also in clinical work. Especially with are fractures, such as distal ulna fractures, a treatment algorithm based on a classification can be helpful.

Incidence of distal ulna fractures in a Swedish county: 74/100,000 person-years, most of them treated non-operatively [PDF]
Acta Orthopaedica, 2020 Background and purpose — Fractures of the distal ulna can occur in isolation or in conjunction with a distal radius fracture. They may result in incongruence and instability of the distal radioulnar joint.

Prying reduction with mosquito forceps versus limited open reduction for irreducible distal radius‐ulna fractures in older children: a retrospective study [PDF]
BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2021 Background There are disputes about which reduction technique should be adopted in treatment of distal radius-ulna fractures in older children who failed to achieve manual reduction.

Ulna hook plate osteosynthesis for ulna head fracture associated with distal radius fracture [PDF]
Journal of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, 2022 Background Distal ulna head or neck fracture is commonly associated with distal radius fracture. Treatment of these fractures remains controversial. Plate osteosynthesis is commonly performed.

Outcomes of distal ulna locking plate in management of unstable distal ulna fractures: a prospective case series. [PDF]
Arch Orthop Trauma Surg, 2023 Introduction Given the absence of a satisfying plate system to deal with multifragmentary or subcapital distal ulnar fractures, the Distal Ulna Locking Plate (DUL, I.T.S. GmbH, Graz, Austria) could become a useful treatment option.

Distal ulna fractures in adults-subcapitular, transverse fractures did not benefit from surgical treatment. [PDF]
Arch Orthop Trauma Surg, 2023 Introduction Fractures of the distal ulna, excluding the styloid, are rare. The cause of injury is often a fall on an outstretched hand with an extended wrist, and in most cases there is a concomitant distal radius fracture.

Outcomes of Distal Ulna Fractures Associated With Operatively Treated Distal Radius Fractures. [PDF]
Hand (N Y), 2020 Background: The purpose of this study was to report outcomes in patients with nonstyloid distal ulna fractures treated in conjunction with open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) of distal radius fractures. Methods: A retrospective review of all patients

Nailing vs. plating in comminuted proximal ulna fractures – a biomechanical analysis [PDF]
BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2020 Background Comminuted proximal ulna fractures are severe injuries with a high degree of instability. These injuries require surgical treatment, usually angular stable plating or double plating is performed.
