Surgical outcomes after reoperation of intra-articular proximal ulna fractures
In our study cohort, 25% of patients underwent reoperation-most often due to symptomatic hardware. While ROM is typically preserved after reoperation and improved when the indication for reoperation is elbow stiffness, a significant proportion of patients (35%) experience subsequent complications. Counseling patients about reoperation outcomes is essential to manage patient expectations and can help them make informed decisions. This approach supports informed decision-making and optimizes patient care.
