Shortening of radial length more than 4mm is associated with wrist pain. [5] Ulnar variance - It is the vertical distance between a horizontal line parallel to the articular surface of the radius and another horizontal line drawn parallel to the articular surface of the ulnar head. Positive ulnar variance (ulna appears longer than radius ...
Darrach's procedure or distal ulna resection is a surgical technique for the surgical removal of the head of ulna.It is performed in cases of radial–ulnar joint pain and instability. [1]
At this age, the relatively slower growth of the ulnar and palmar part of the radius, leads to an increasingly progressive deformity. Pain and deformity are the main symptoms patients present with. [1] Typical clinical presentation consists of a short forearm, anterior-ulnar bow of the radius and a forward subluxation of the hand on the forearm.

X-ray of Femoral Osteotomy hardware to correct femoral rotation caused by hip dysplasia. X-ray of the right hip in female patient in early thirties. Two main types of osteotomies are used in the correction of hip dysplasias and deformities to improve alignment/interaction of acetabulum – (socket) – and femoral head – (ball), innominate osteotomies and femoral osteotomies.
An excessively long styloid process of the ulna can cause painful contact with the triquetral bone in the wrist, known as ulnar styloid impaction syndrome. [1] Radiology is used to diagnose it. [1] Conservative management involves injection of triamcinolone, while surgery involves shortening of the styloid process of the ulna via resection. [1]
The cast is applied with the distal fragment in palmar flexion and ulnar deviation. A fracture with mild angulation and displacement may require closed reduction . There is some evidence that immobilization with the wrist in dorsiflexion as opposed to palmarflexion results in less redisplacement and better functional status. [ 12 ]
Flexor digitorum profundus is a composite muscle innervated by the anterior interosseous nerve and ulnar nerves. The medial aspect of the muscle (which flexes the 4th and 5th digit) is supplied by the ulnar nerve (C8, T1). [5] [6] [7]
