Distal ulnar neck fracture displacement with forearm rotation: A biomechanical cadaveric study
from this study suggest that distal ulnar fractures are potentially stable, particularly in supination. However, unrestricted forearm pronation with inadequate immobilisation might still cause further fracture displacement. Further studies are required to assess distal ulnar fracture stability in vivo before treatment guidelines can be established.
