Fractures: Bone Repair01:27

Fractures: Bone Repair

5.7K
Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...

Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna01:15

Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna

4.8K
The ulna and radius are parallel bones of the antebrachium or the forearm. The ulna lies medially and consists of a bony tip called the olecranon process at its proximal end. This hook-like projection articulates with the olecranon fossa of the humerus and forms the "hinged" ulnohumeral part of the elbow joint. This joint facilitates forearm extension and flexion while preventing its hyperextension. Similarly, the coronoid process, another bony projection on the proximal/anterior side...

Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius01:09

Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius

5.2K
The radius is longer of the two bones that make up the human antebrachium or forearm. At the proximal end, the radius articulates with the capitulum of the humerus and the radial notch of the ulna to form the elbow joint. At the distal end, the radius articulates with the ulna via the ulnar notch, forming the distal radioulnar joint. Distally, the radius also attaches to the carpal wrist bones (scaphoid and lunate) to form the radiocarpal joint.
The radius has a nail-shaped head, and a...

Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus01:19

Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus

7.6K
The upper limb consists of the arm, forearm, wrist, and hand bones. The humerus is the single bone of the upper arm region. Proximally, it has a large, spherical, smooth head that articulates with the glenoid cavity of the scapula to form the glenohumeral or shoulder joint. The margin of the head is the anatomical neck, a residual epiphyseal plate. Laterally it extends to form bony projections called the greater tubercle and the lesser tubercle. Next to the tubercles is the surgical neck, a...

Summary

Isolated ulnar head fractures are rare. Bone resection yielded excellent results in one case, but internal fixation is preferred when feasible.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Traumatology
  • Upper extremity fractures

Background:

  • Distal ulnar fractures frequently accompany distal radius fractures (DRFs).
  • Ulnar styloid fractures are common in DRF cases.
  • Isolated ulnar head fractures are exceptionally rare.

Observation:

  • A case of an isolated ulnar head fracture is presented.
  • Internal screw fixation was attempted but resulted in fragment fracture.
  • Bone resection was performed due to fixation failure.

Findings:

  • The patient achieved excellent outcomes 18 months post-surgery.
  • Bone resection is not recommended unless internal fixation fails or is exceptionally difficult.
  • Long-term follow-up is necessary to monitor for potential osteoarthritis of the distal radioulnar joint.

Implications:

  • This case highlights a rare fracture pattern and a potential surgical approach.
  • It underscores the importance of considering alternative treatments when standard fixation is not possible.
  • Further research is needed to evaluate the long-term consequences of bone resection in the distal radioulnar joint.
