OBJECTIVE To compare skeletal parameters between the ulna and radius in pre-pubertal non-elite gymnasts and non-gymnasts. METHODS Fifty-eight non-elite artistic gymnasts, aged 6-11 years, were compared with 28 non-gymnasts for bone mineral content (BMC), total and cortical bone area (ToA, CoA), trabecular and cortical volumetric density (TrD, CoD) and estimated bone strength (BSI and SSIp), o...

A 63 year old Asian woman presented with tuberculous osteomyelitis of the right ulna and a large subcutaneous cold abscess. During the course of her treatment the midshaft of the ulna sustained a spontaneous transverse fracture. Aspects of her case are reviewed.

Objective: There is a lack of information about whether preschool-aged children are providing maximal attempts when measuring strength. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the association between handgrip strength and fore arm muscle size across age ranges, including three years old. Design Methods: A total 166 preschool (87 boys 79 girls) ages 3.5 6.5 were recruited from local kindergar...

The ulna is a rare site of origin for osteosarcoma, and purely osteolytic osteosarcomas are uncommonly noted on conventional radiographs. We present a patient with a lytic lesion of the distal ulna for which imaging findings suggested an aneurysmal bone cyst. The lesion was histologically confirmed to be a fibroblastic osteosarcoma.

Sex estimation from fragmentary bone remain is still challenge for forensic pathologist. Ulna has been reported useful sex by metric analysis. This study generated function fragment and complete of ulnar in a Thai population. The was 200 pairs bone, others 20 pair were used test the accuracy functions. Olecranon width best single variable predicting proximal part ulna, which right olecranon cou...

Melorheostosis is a rare osteosclerotic bone dysplasia. It is usually characterized by dull and aching pain, reduced joint motion and contractures. Classic radiograph findings are of undulating cortical hyperostosis along the length of the bone, simulating a "dripping candlewax appearance". We report two cases of melorheostosis of the ulna bone, diagnosed 6 years apart in two different females ...
