Direct blow on back of upper forearm would be a very uncommon cause. In this context, isolated ulnar shaft fractures are most commonly seen in defence against blunt trauma (e.g. nightstick injury). Such an isolated ulnar shaft fracture is not a Monteggia fracture. [citation needed] It is called a 'nightstick fracture'.
An ulna fracture is a break in the ulna bone, one of the two bones in the forearm. [2] It is often associated with a fracture of the other forearm bone, the radius. [1] [3]An ulna fracture can be a single break as in a so called nightstick fracture, which can be caused by someone being hit on the inside of the forearm often by a stick, notably when they are holding their arm up to protect ...
A distal radius fracture, also known as wrist fracture, is a break of the part of the radius bone which is close to the wrist. [1] Symptoms include pain, bruising, and rapid-onset swelling. [1] The ulna bone may also be broken. [1] In younger people, these fractures typically occur during sports or a motor vehicle collision. [2]
Olecranon fracture is a fracture of the bony portion of the elbow.The injury is fairly common and often occurs following a fall or direct trauma to the elbow. The olecranon is the proximal extremity of the ulna which is articulated with the humerus bone and constitutes a part of the elbow articulation.
Manipulation under anesthesia (MUA) or fibrosis release procedures [1] is a noninvasive procedure to treat chronic pain which has been unmanageable by other methods. MUA is designed not only to relieve pain, but also to break up excessive scar tissue.
A harvested tendon, such as the palmaris tendon [11] from the forearm of the same or opposite elbow, the patellar tendon, hamstring, toe extensor or a donor's tendon , is then woven in a figure-eight pattern through the holes and anchored. [10] The ulnar nerve is usually moved to prevent pain, as scar tissue can apply pressure to the nerve. [11]

A post-operative photo of repair of a complete rupture of the ulnar collateral ligament. Note the K-wire to brace the joint. The ulnar collateral ligament is an important stabilizer of the thumb. Thumb instability resulting from disruption of the UCL profoundly impairs the overall function of the involved hand.
