Although the fracture pattern of most olecranon fractures makes them amenable to a simpler technique (eg, tension band wiring or fragment excision and triceps tendon advancement), the infrequently encountered Colton types 3 and 4 fractures are more appropriately managed by a hook plate techniq...
Proximal radius and ulna constitute are important parts of the elbow, including radial fracture, ulna coronoid fractures, olecranon fractures and a variety of complex fractures. 1. Radial fractures Radial head fracture is due to the radial head and capitellum collision. The vast majority are due t...
We report a case of complete stress fracture of the ulna and stress reaction of the radius resulting from the use of crutches in an overweight patient with severe lower extremity arthritis. Plain radiograph showed an undisplaced complete fracture of the proximal metaphysis of the ulna. Magnetic re...
This study describes a new proximal ulna fracture classification system. The classification gives a description of the fracture, while linking it to a mechanical and biological analysis of the problem. It should help in finding a clinical solution for the patient, as well as provide a prediction ...
fractures can occur in very young children as well as in adolescents. In younger children, the radial head remains fibrocartilaginous and thus makes it more resistant to fracture. Therefore, children, especially younger children, are more likely to sustain fractures of the radial neck about the ph...

Proximal Ulna: A Rare Location for Solitary Intraosseous Hemangioma The overall incidence rate of fractures of the proximal femur is found to be approximately 230 per 100,000 patients with approximately 5-10% of these fracture occurring within the ST region [1, 2]. Management of Subtrochanteric ...
Intramedullary nailing versus proximal plating in the management of closed extra-articular proximal tibial fracture: a randomized controlled trial Background Extra-articular proximal tibial fractures account for 5鈥 11% of all tibial shaft fractures. In recent years, closed reduction and minimally inva....
The posttraumatic synostosis between radius and ulna is one of a rare but grave complication in case of forearm-fracture. Only a few successful treated case-reports are described. This case reports upon a young with a second-degree open elbow-joint-debris-fracture. Following a proximal -ulnar...
