Ulna shortening osteotomy using a compression device.
PURPOSE To report the functional and radiographic outcomes of a cohort of patients treated for ulnar impaction syndrome with a single technique of ulnar shortening osteotomy. METHOD We performed ulnar shortening osteotomy on 18 consecutive patients over a 10-year period by using an oblique osteotomy and compression plating technique with an AO compression device (Synthes, Paoli, PA). There we...

To cite: Seewoonarain S, Shakokani M, Pryke S. BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2016214399 DESCRIPTION An 8-year-old girl presented to the emergency department following a fall from a climbing frame onto her outstretched left hand. On examination, the left wrist was swollen and tender. The skin was intact with no neurovascular compromise. The patien...
متن کاملDistal ulna hook plate fixation for unstable distal ulna fracture associated with distal radius fracture.
The significance of distal ulna fractures is often undermined, which can result in inadequate treatment compared with fractures of the radius, the ulna's larger counterpart. However, little guidance exists in the current literature on how to manage distal ulna head or neck fractures and intra-articular ulna head fractures. Therefore, the purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the o...
متن کاملPathologic fracture of the proximal ulna through a bone graft donor site.
Complications of harvesting autologous bone graft from the iliac crest and tibia are well known; exclusive use of upper extremity donor sites in hand surgery has therefore been advocated. Six weeks of postoperative elbow splinting has been recommended after harvest of large proximal ulnar grafts. We report two cases of pathologic fracture of the proximal ulna complicating local bone grafting an...
متن کاملFracture Of The Proximal Ulna In Association With An Ipsilateral Complex Distal Radius Fracture: A Case Report
Simultaneous ipsilateral distal and proximal fractures of the forearm are rare [1-3]. There have been case reports describing an olecranon fracture associated with an ipsilateral distal radius epiphyseal injury[1], a Monteggia lesion with an associated ipsilateral distal radius epiphyseal injury[4] or associated with ipsilateral distal radius and ulna metaphyseal fractures[5, 6]. Furthermore, t...
