Intraosseous glomus tumors of bone are extremely rare. We report a case of an intraosseous glomus tumor of the ulna. The patient was a 25-year-old woman who had a three-month history of a palpable mass in her right forearm with spontaneous pain. Radiographs showed cortical hypertrophy and a shell-like bone formation surrounding the small osteolytic lesion within the cortex of the ulna diaphysis...

We have investigated the anatomy of the proximal part of the ulna to assess its influence on the use of plates in the management of fractures at this site. We examined 54 specimens from cadavers. The mean varus angulation in the proximal third was 17.5 degrees (11 degrees to 23 degrees ) and the mean anterior deviation 4.5 degrees (1 degrees to 14 degrees ). These variations must be considered ...

The increasing frequency of joint arthroplasty has led to an increasing requirement for revision surgery. When treating an aseptically failed elbow arthroplasty one of the main issues is poor or absent proximal ulna bone stock, due to osteolysis. We report our experience with the use of strut allograft reconstruction of the proximal ulna, as an adjunctive procedure to non-custom revision total ...

An Afreedie thief was caught by some villagers in the act of house-breaking, and summarily dealt with as follows, and afterwards sent in by the police for treatment in the civil station. The right hand vsas severed from the forearm just above the wrist joint, apparently by a single blow from a sword. Radius aud ulna irregularly cut through and amputation higher up rendered essential; the left w...

INTRODUCTION Simultaneous Monteggia injuries of the elbow and ipsilateral distal radius and ulna fractures are very rare. CASE PRESENTATION A unique case of a type I Monteggia fracture equivalent with ipsilateral fracture of the distal radius and ulna (Salter-Harris type II) in a child is reported. We describe the management of this unique fracture and discuss the possible mechanism of injury...
