Ulna fracture


An ulna fracture is a break of the ulna bone in the forearm. They are often associated with radius fractures. When the middle portion of the ulna is broken without other associated fractures, it may be called a nightstick fracture.
A nightstick fracture is classically caused by being hit on the inside of the forearm.
Treatment of nightstick fractures may be with splinting and early movement.
