comparative evaluation of pin in fiberglass cast and kirschner ehmer external fixative in the management of radius Ulna Fractures in dogs
Sokoto Journal of Veterinary Sciences, 2017Co-Authors: A A Bada, C A Awasum, E G Emmanuel, M N Bappah, A.z. Hassan, M Lawal, G E OchubeAbstract:Four adult (two males and two females) dogs were used to comparatively evaluate the effectiveness of pin-in-fiberglass cast with Kirschner-Ehmer type I external skeletal fixative in the management of surgically created radius-Ulna Fractures in dogs. These dogs were assigned to two groups (A and B) with each group made up of two dogs. The radius-Ulna Fracture was created in all the dogs under general anaesthesia as follows: Group A, pin-in-fiberglass casting; and Group B, Kirschner-Ehmer type I external fixation. Post-operatively, minimal increase in vital parameters were observed, but were not significant (P>0.05) when compared with pre-operative values in both groups. The haematological indices were within acceptable normal limits for both group (P>0.05). Dogs in both groups bore weight on the operated limb and could walk within 24 hours post-operative. Radiographic evaluation revealed minimal soft tissue swelling and minimal periosteal tissue reaction in both groups. The Kirschner-Ehmer external fixative group attained the faster Fracture healing time (7 weeks) compared to the pin-in-fiberglass group (8 weeks). Functional and cosmetic appearances were graded as excellent for both groups. Complications associated with the two techniques were cast sores in the pin-in-fiberglass group while pin loosening and serous pin tract drainage were observed in the Kirschner-Ehmer external fixative group. Thus, it was concluded that pin-in-fiberglass cast could be used as a satisfactory substitute to Kirschner-Ehmer type I external fixative in the management of simple radius-Ulna Fractures in dogs.

screw fixation and autogenous bone graft for an irreducible distal Ulna Fracture associated with distal radius Fracture
The Journal of Hand Surgery, 2017Co-Authors: Kiyohito Naito, Yoichi Sugiyama, Hiroyuki Obata, Atsuhiko Mogami, Osamu Obayashi, Kazuo KanekoAbstract:Distal Ulna Fractures often occur with distal radius Fractures, and their treatment method is still controversial. We considered reduction of the distal radio-Ulnar joint (DRUJ) surface the most important factor when treating distal Ulna Fractures accompanied by residual dislocation. We herein presented a patient with a distal Ulna Fracture accompanied by dislocation of the DRUJ surface in whom an autogenous bone fragment collected from the radius was grafted onto the Ulnar bone defect after open reduction and Herbert screw fixation. In this technique, the bone fragment was supported through the medullary cavity by inserting a Herbert screw, which was less likely to cause irritation between the screw and surrounding tissue, because the screw was almost entirely present in the bone. In addition, an autogenous bone graft from the same surgical field may be less invasive than that from another region.

segmental radius and Ulna Fracture with epiphyseal involvement
2005Co-Authors: Joe Grainge, Francesco Oliva, Nicola MaffulliAbstract:Segmental Fractures of the radius and Ulna are relatively common in adults, often occurring after high energy trauma. Segmental forearm Fractures in children have not previously been reported, and their optimal management is unclear. We report a child of eight years of age who underwent fixation of these injuries with a good outcome.

ulnocarpal spanning plate fixation as a novel technique for complex distal Ulna Fracture a case report
Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery American Volume, 2020Co-Authors: Kriste M Sochol, Luke T Nicholso, Alidad GhiassiAbstract:CASE: The patient was a 60-year-old woman with a comminuted, open distal radius and distal Ulna metadiaphyseal Fracture. After fixation of the distal radius, the distal Ulna was unstable and crepitant with rotation and anteroposterior translation. Because of limited bone stock and poor soft tissue, we spanned the distal Ulna using a wrist spanning plate. This was removed at 6 weeks postoperatively. She healed and was satisfied with her outcomes. CONCLUSION: This case describes the original use of a wrist spanning plate for a complex distal Ulna Fracture. Ulnocarpal-spanning plate fixation provides an alternative to traditional methods of fixation.
