Proximal ulna fractures account for 20% of all proximal forearm fractures.[rx There are many options available for the treatment of such fractures, such as cast immobilization, plate, and screw fixation, tension band wiring and intramedullary screw fixation, depending on the fracture pattern.[rx–rx] Undisplaced proximal ulna fracture with intact extensor mechanism can be treated with cast immobilization, while … [Read more…]
Ulnar Lower End Fracture/Ulnar styloid fracture is common and may be associated with a distal radial fracture (DRF) or occurs as an isolated injury [rx]. In spite of acting as a unique strut on the ulnar end to stabilize the ulnar soft tissue and maintain the congruency of the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ), the majority … [Read more…]

Humerus Fractures Types/Proximal humeral fractures are common, particularly in the elderly. Along with proximal femoral, distal radial, and vertebral-body fractures, they are a common type of osteoporotic fracture. Women are affected two to three times as often as men [rx]. Proximal humerus and humerus fractures account for 4% to 6% and 1% to 3% of … [Read more…]
