Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna

3.8K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Wrist Biomechanics
  • Upper Extremity Reconstruction

Background:

  • Ulnocarpal conflict is a significant cause of wrist pain and dysfunction.
  • Surgical management options for ulnocarpal conflict are varied, with ulnar shortening osteotomy being a key procedure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of ulnar shortening osteotomy.
  • To review the pathology, indications, and surgical alternatives for ulnocarpal conflict.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of patients undergoing ulnar shortening osteotomy (January 2012 - June 2017).
  • Clinical assessment included pain (VAS), range of motion, grip strength, and functional outcomes (quick-DASH).
  • Radiographic evaluation measured ulnar variance and surgical shortening.

Main Results:

  • Significant reduction in pain (VAS 7 to 2.6) and improved function (quick-DASH 64 to 28).
  • Ulnar variance improved from +5.5 mm to -1.1 mm.
  • Minor decreases in flexion and supination, and grip strength showed a trend towards improvement.

Conclusions:

  • Ulnar shortening osteotomy is an effective surgical treatment for ulnocarpal conflict.
  • The procedure yields good clinical and radiographic results, consistent with existing literature.
  • It effectively manages ulnar-sided wrist pain and unloads the ulna.
