What is Ulnar's fracture?
Ulnar fracture is a turning point in Uln, one of the bones of the forearm. This type of fracture can be seen in people of all age groups and is usually due to a direct impact on ul, such as one that could be maintained on a fall or a physical argument. Symptoms of Ulnar fracture are very pronounced: the patient usually experiences extreme pain and a limited range of movement, and in the case of an open fracture, pieces of broken bones protrude through the skin are.
The second bone in the forearm is a radius. Together, the radius and ulna reach from the elbow to the wrist and both bones are critical for the arm function. Separate fractures of one of the bone are usually caused by impacts, while twisting the forearm or bending of the arm from the normal range of movement causes a fracture of both bone forearms, which includes radius and ul. This type of fracture often takes the form of a spiral fracture and almost always requires surgery.
if it isUlnar fracture relatively simple, can be stabilized with orthosis or casting and is left to heal. During the healing process, the extent of the patient's movement may be limited and some lifestyle adjustments may be necessary to protect the broken bones while healing. For example, the occupation patient usually cannot involve contact sports. Complications may include infection, incorrect recovery or nonnihion in which the bone simply does not heal, even though it will be given time.
More complex fractures will require surgical stabilization. This is achieved by placing the patient under general anesthesia and using a set of pins and boards to repair the bone on site. After the operation, the arm is placed in the cast to be immobilized while healing. Once Ulnar's fracture has been healed, the pins can be removed or left in place, depending on the situation and preferences of the ttr. Complications of surgical stabilization may include nonniion, side effects on anesthesia andinfection.
In a unique type of fracture Ulnar known as a fracture of Monteggia, the fracture of the ulna also includes a joint rupture with a radius. This type of fracture is most common when the elbow receives a sharp impact, for example, when someone breaks the fall with the elbow. Fractures in Monteggia usually require surgery to stabilize fractures and joint repair and may have a longer and more complicated healing time, depending on how serious the break is.
