The forearm comprises of 2 long bones: radius and the ulna; they forms joints with the humerus. The ulna fracture is known as the break in the ulna bone during any trauma affecting this side of body.  An ulna as one of the long bones of the forearm is located in in human upper limb and its fracture is a relatively common condition. Forearm bones can break in different ways: they can break into many pieces or can crack just slightly. These broken pieces my line up straight or be in a different location.


== Epidemiology and demographics ==
==[[Ulnar fracture classification|Classification]]==
This fracture is common among the elderly people but it can be found among the younger patient. The fracture of ulna usually occurs in combination with other injuries such as a sprained or dislocated wrist or elbow, a fractured radius, or other fractures of the hand, wrist or forearm. Based on the affected area during the trauma the severity and type of injuries varies from avulsion fracture, stress fracture, medial epicondyle fracture, olecranon fracture, displaced fracture, un-displaced fracture to the greenstick, comminuted.
