The epidemiology of fractures of the proximal ulna

Injury, 2012
The aim of our study was to report the epidemiological characteristics of fractures of the proximal ulna.From our prospective trauma database of 6872 fractures, we identified all acute fractures of the proximal ulna from a 1-year period between July 2007 and June 2008.

Proximal Ulna Fractures

2019
Fractures of the olecranon are common in adults and can be complex lesions. Triceps pull is acting as a dislocating force. The soft tissue envelope at the back of the proximal ulna is only tenuous. In fractures following direct trauma, accompanying soft tissue lesions are common.

Fractures of the proximal ulna

1991
Fractures of the proximal ulna include both olecranon and coronoid fractures and, more precisely, are meta-epiphyseal fractures of the ulna.

Fractures of the Coronoid Process of the Ulna

The Journal of Hand Surgery, 2006
The coronoid process is critical to elbow stability and is vulnerable during injury. Traumatic elbow injures are relatively uncommon, so it is important for surgeons to be mindful of the importance of specialized treatment of the coronoid for optimal elbow function.

Fractures of the proximal ulna olecranon and coronoid fractures

Hand Clinics, 2002
Fractures of the proximal ulna present unique challenges to the surgeon because of the complexity of the elbow joint. It is important not to underestimate the potential difficulty of these cases and to give each one thorough preoperative consideration before embarking on a surgical course.

Radius and Ulna Fractures

2017
The unique two-bone, dual-joint structure of the forearm allows for rotational motion that increases the ability of the hand to manipulate objects in space. Forearm fractures often result from a high-energy injury and are frequently associated with open injuries and/or compartment syndrome.

Isolated fractures of the shaft of the ulna

Injury, 1974
Abstract A review of 76 isolated fractures of the shaft of the ulna treated by various methods indicated that a forearm plaster was as satisfactory as an above-elbow plaster for the treatment of most fractures. Internal fixation using a 6-hole plate produced excellent results when used as an initial treatment, and promoted bony union when used for ...

Fractures of the Radius and Ulna

1984
Fractures of the shafts of the radius and ulna are very common. They are probably the most usual forearm injuries to present in the casualty departments. Other quite common regions of the forearm bones to present with fractures are: the olecranon process the coronoid process the head of the radius the uppermost third of the ulna with dislocation of ...

Ulna fracture – shaft fractures

2008
Characteristics Traditionally described as a nightstick fracture, as the ulnar shaft is usually fractured by a direct blow. Potential for open injury as the ulna is a subcutaneous structure along most of its length. Clinical features Pain, swelling, bruising, fracture crepitus.

Fractures of the Distal Radius and Ulna

1994
Fractures of the distal radius and ulna are common fractures. The classical description of these fractures by Abraham Colles has remained unchanged for the past 180 years [1]. However, what would no longer find agreement today is his comment on treatment results for these fractures: “One consolation only remains, that the limb will at some remote ...
