Abstract:
Epiphyseal fractures of the distal radius are common in children but those involving the distal ulna are rare. Distal ulna epiphyseal injuries are usually Salter-Harris type II and are usually reduced closed and held in plaster to produce good results. In this paper we describe a Salter-Harris type IV injury of the distal ulna epiphysis which required open reduction and internal fixation due to soft tissue interposition.
