| Abstract | ||||
| The ulnar styloid tip and base, ulnar head, and ulnar neck are all included in the distal five centimetres of the ulna, which is the distal end of the ulna. The ulnar notch on the lower end of the radius and the head of the ulna form the pivot-joint known as the distal radioulnar articulation. A fall onto an outstretched hand or a direct trauma to the ulnar distal end could be the mechanism of injury. Stable distal ulna fractures can be effectively managed with closed reduction and cast immobilization but unstable fractures need operative management. A distal end ulna fracture may be complicated by wrist joint stiffness, ligament damage preventing full wrist mobility, post-traumatic arthritis, compression of the median nerve causing carpal tunnel syndrome, secondary wrist derangements of the ulnocarpal and distal radioulnar joints, compartmental syndrome, reflex sympathetic dystrophy, and ruptured tendons, particularly the extensors. AIM OF THE WORK: The aim of this work was to evaluate the results of fixation of distal ulnar fractures using condylar mini-plate. | ||||
