Overview
The main cause of ulnar bone fracture is trauma.
Ulnar Bone Fracture Causes
The main cause of ulnar bone fracture is trauma. Such as the most fractures the ulnar fracture is caused by a falling or automobile accident. Meanwhile, the normal healthy bones are extremely tough and resilient and can withstand most powerful impacts. As a person age, two factors cause higher risk of fractures:
- Weaker bones
- Greater risk of falling
Stress fractures as a common causes of fractures can be found due to the repeated stresses and strains. Importantly children having more physically active lifestyles than adults, are also prone to fractures. People with any underlying diseases such as osteoporosis, infection, or a tumor affecting their bones having a higher risk of fractures. As mentioned in previous chapters, this type of fracture is known as a pathological fracture. Stress fractures, which result from repeated stresses and strains, commonly found among professional sports people, are also common causes of fractures[1][2][3].
Life-threatening Causes
- There are no life-threatening causes of distal radius fracture, however complications resulting from distal radius fracture is common.
Common Causes
Common causes of distal radius fracture may include:
- Trauma (Fall on an outstretched hand)
Less Common Causes
Less common causes of distal radius fracture include conditions that predisposes to fracture:
