Congenital deficiency of part of distal ulna affecting the distal radio-ulnar joint is a rare disorder. It is even rarer to find the association of proximal radio-ulnar joint dislocation along with distal ulnar deficiency. This type of congenital forearm anomaly is difficult to treat. Conversion to a single bone forearm in the expense of pronation-supination movement is a viable option. By doin...

Congenital Ewing's sarcoma is a very rare occurrence indeed with only one case involving the humerus and none involving the ulna that has been noted in the literature to our knowledge. It is one of those tumours that not only do they rarely occur in the neonatal period, but is also very uncommon in black people. We present a case report of Congenital Ewing's Sarcoma in a black female infant inv...

The purpose of this report is to present a unique case of an uncommon tumor. Adamantinomas are inherently rare, low-grade malignant primary bone tumors that almost always involve the tibia. Although cases have been reported of these tumors involving the long bones of the upper extremity, we present an instance in which both bones of the forearm were affected with documented radiographic changes...

INTRODUCTION We report a case of Type 1 Monteggia equivalent injury with intact radio-capitellar congruity, associated with epiphyseal fracture of distal radius and distal ulna shaft in an 11-year-old boy. There are only a few cases of Monteggia or Monteggia equivalent injury with ipsilateral forearm fractures in children, and injury pattern being reported by us is not only rare but also the on...

When one growing forearm bone is destroyed by disease, develops imperfectly or lacks stability because of a pseudarthrosis or dislocation at either end, the effect is not usually confined to the abnormal bone, because secondary structural changes in the other are likely to follow. The consequences may be serious when stability is impaired, because normal function of the hand is largely dependen...

The patient, a 45-year-old male, was referred to the rheumatology clinic due to diffuse joint pain on the wrists and knees. The patient was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis and severe hepatopulmonary syndrome. Physical examination showed swelling of the knees and wrists (arthritis) and clubbing. The X-rays requested showed periosteal thickening observed continuously, in a diaphysometaphysiary loc...

Periosteal lesions of the ulna diaphysis are rare, include a wide spectrum of tumors, and may cause considerable diagnostic problems. Surgical treatment may vary widely, based on an accurate diagnosis. We present the case of a periosteal, extraskeletal low grade myxoid chondrosarcoma of the ulna diaphysis. The surgical therapy included an en-bloc resection with allograft reconstruction. The pat...

A 50-year-old man, right-handed farmer, was admitted to the emergency department after undergoing an agriculture accident. Physical examination on admission revealed a left wrist disarticulation with a deformity of the ipsilateral elbow and forearm (A and B). Plain radiography showed a fracture of the ulna shaft as well as dislocation of the radial head. This radiological finding, also called M...

Mr A. G. Miller exhibited a woman, upwards of seventy, who had recovered with a useful arm after a severe compound fracture of the ulna, complicated with a fracture of the surgical neck of the humerus. The injuries had been inflicted a fortnight before admission to hospital. The wound was putrid, and there was no attempt at union of the fractures. Mr Miller scraped the wound of the soft parts, ...
