Abstract:Purpose: Although plate osteosynthesis is commonly used to treat proximal ulna fracture, its treatment method is controversial because of complications such as large incision, long operation time, and soft tissue injury. Therefore, intramedullary headless compression screw (HCS) and Steinmann pin are considered as alternative treatment options. In this study, we aim to compare bending strength of plate and cortical screws, HCS, and Steinmann pin for proximal ulnar shaft fracture with sawbone. Methods: Transver… Show more
