Overview
Ulnar Fracture usually classified according to the level of fracture, the pattern of the fracture, the degree of displacement, the presence or absence of comminution or segment bone loss, and whether it is open or closed. Each of these factors may have some bearing on the type of treatment to be selected and the ultimate prognosis.
Mechanism and Pathogenesis
The mechanism of injury is variable:
- Direct trauma to the arm/forearm
- Taking part in any rough or high-impact sport
- Falling from a significant height; especially landing on one’s arm (or the fracture occurring since the individual is overweight)
- Street fights, gunshot wounds, and domestic violence, may also cause a Fracture of the Ulnar Bone
- Direct blow to the forearm.
- Falling on an outstretched hand with the forearm pronated.
- Rroad traffic accidents.
- Athletic injuries.
- Gunshot wounds.
