Ulnar fractures associated with long-term bisphosphonate (BPs) therapy are rare, and the nature and extent of this potential risk remains unknown. Although ulna is generally considered a "straight bon...
Ulnar bowing could play a critical role in the location and occurrence of AUFs....
We retrospectively reviewed the radiographs and medical records of 64 patients with atypical fractures admitted to our department between May 2010 to July 2020. The bow of the ulna was measured using ...
In all patients with atypical fractures, bow locations were measured at the proximal third level to the index line in 68% of AP plane and 72% of lateral plane. In patients with AUFs, fracture sites oc...
In AUFs, fracture site was highly correlated with ulnar bowing location, and, as the degree of apex posterior bow increased, occurrence of AUFs increased. These findings are helpful in understanding t...

Distal ulna head or neck fracture is commonly associated with distal radius fracture. Treatment of these fractures remains controversial. Plate osteosynthesis is commonly performed. The purpose of thi...
This retrospective study between 2010 and 2018 included patients presenting combined displaced distal ulna fracture and distal radius fracture who were treated with ulna hook plate osteosynthesis. Pat...
A total of 48 patients were included. Mean age was 63 years old and mean follow-up was 28 months. According to the Biyani classification, there were 12 type I, 4 type II, 8 type III, and 24 type IV di...
Ulna hook plate fixation gives good clinical results and a high rate of fracture union, but complications are common. Implant irritation is a frequent complication, especially in young patients, and o...

Distal ulna plate fixation for ulnar neck and head fractures (excluding ulnar styloid fractures) aims to anatomically reduce the distal ulna fracture (DUF) by open reduction and internal fixation, whi...
Severe displacement, angulation or translation, as well as unstable or intra-articular fractures. Furthermore, multiple trauma or young patients in need of quick functional rehabilitation....
Inability to surgically address concomitant ipsilateral extremity fractures, thus, limiting early active rehabilitation. Stable, nondisplaced fractures. Need for bridging plate or external fixator of ...
An ulnar approach, with a straight incision between the extensor and flexor carpi ulnaris. Preservation of the dorsal branch of the ulnar nerve. Reduction and plate fixation with avoidance of plate im...
Postoperatively, an elastic bandage is applied for the first 24-48 h. In isolated DUF with stable fixation, a postoperative splint is often unnecessary and should be avoided. For the first four weeks,...
The best available evidence likely shows that for younger patients with a DUF, with or without concomitant distal radius fractures, open reduction and internal fixation can be safely achieved with goo...
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...
In a prospective clinical trial, 20 patients (18 female, two male; mean age 70 years (24-91 years)) with unstable or displaced distal ulna fractures between December 2010 and August 2015 were analyzed...
All fractures treated with open reduction and internal fixation using the Distal Ulna Locking Plate healed within 6 months and showed stable ulnar variances after surgery. ROM (rotational plane 81.1 ±...
Stabilization of unstable distal ulna fractures using the DUL restores nearly normal anatomy and function. Its pre-countered design, volar placement, and enhanced stability present a satisfying plate ...

The aim of this study was to introduce a novel technique to improve the ease of fixing of even small fragments of the coronoid process and report the clinical outcomes of this method....
Forty-nine patients with ulnar coronoid process fractures fixed using the hooked Kirschner wire (K-wire) technique at our hospital from 2007 to 2019 were reviewed. Radiological features and fracture u...
All patients were examined at a mean follow-up of 17.7 months (range, 6-62 months). We observed bony union in patients at a mean of 10.9 weeks (range, 6-22 weeks). The mean flexion and extension range...
Despite its limitations, the hooked K-wire technique was a useful method for even smaller coronoid process fractures. K-wires were also a useful temporary intraoperative fixation method and could prov...
Proximal ulna fractures with a large zone of comminution, such as in the context of Monteggia injuries, require mechanically strong osteosyntheses as they occur in regions with high physiological join...
Comminuted fractures distal to the coronoid process, equivalent to Jupiter type IIb fractures, are generated on artificial Sawbones...
The "mother-baby-plate" osteosynthesis had a significantly higher yield load (p < 0.01) and stiffness (p = 0.01) than the LCP group. This correlates with the increased movement of the proximal fractur...
Here, we show evidence that the addition of a small plate to the standard plate is highly effective in increasing the biomechanical stability in severe fractures equivalent to Jupiter type IIb. As it ...
Elbow fractures in the pediatric population are an exceedingly common injury, comprising 5% to 10% of all pediatric fractures, with supracondylar fractures being the most common of the subset. Radial ...
A comprehensive analysis of the morphology of fractures of the coronoid process (CP) can aid diagnosis and guide treatment. The involvement of the radial notch of the ulna (RN)-e.g., in anterolateral ...
A total of 113 embalmed, cadaveric ulnae were dissected. All soft tissue was removed. Strictly lateral, high-resolution photographs were taken and digitally analyzed. The height of the CP and its rela...
Mean height of the CP was 16 mm (range: 12-23 mm; SD: 2). Mean height of the RN was 16 mm (11-25 mm; 2.2). The 50% mark of the CP corresponded to 18% (0-56%; 11.2) of the height of the RN. No signific...
The RN of the ulna extends only to a small part to the CP. Transverse or anterolateral fractures of less than 50% of the coronoid process may involve only a small portion of the proximal radioulnar jo...
Anterolateral coronal fractures are so rare that the mechanism of injury, the type of combined fracture and ligament injury, and the optimal treatment are unknown. To study the outcome of surgical tre...
From February 2015 to April 2021, 32 patients were included in the study. All patients had standard radiography with anteroposterior and lateral views, computed tomography, and intraoperative fluorosc...
We divided patients into two groups according to the anterolateral coronoid fracture morphology. In the intact group, 20 patients with an intact anterolateral coronoid fracture fragment. In the commin...
For anterolateral ulnar coronoid fractures with different degrees of comminution, effective and reliable surgical treatment can achieve better results and fewer complications....
Precontoured olecranon plates are frequently used in the management of proximal ulna fractures. Occasionally, in comminuted proximal ulna fractures or segmental ulna fractures, available precontoured ...
