Area of Science:

Orthopedic Surgery
Traumatology

Background:

Distal ulnar fractures often occur with distal radial fractures.
Current treatments include plate osteosynthesis and Kirschner's wire pinning.

Observation:

A technique utilizing headless compression screws was applied to 11 patients with combined distal ulnar and radial fractures.
Patients used a short-arm splint for under two weeks post-treatment.

Findings:

The mean time to bony union was 6.5 weeks.
Excellent functional recovery was noted, with a mean Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand score of 14.6 and a mean visual analog scale score of 1.09.
All patients regained full range of motion without significant complications.

Implications:

Headless compression screws offer a minimally invasive intramedullary fixation option for distal ulnar fractures.
This technique promotes simple and effective bony union with a low complication rate.
The approach may be a valuable alternative for managing complex distal forearm fractures.
