“…Isolated fractures of the distal ulna are often a result of direct impacts to the ulna [11][12][13][14]. Nelson et al suggested that type III and IV fractures of the ulna are 3 Case Reports in Orthopedics rarely caused without either extreme ulnar deviation or displaced radial fractures [15]. Hinohara proposed that isolated physeal injury of the distal ulna could also be caused by a forceful, combined ulnar deviation-dorsiflexion of the wrist in a pronated forearm [16].…”

We report the case of a 14-year-old boy with an isolated Salter-Harris type IV physeal fracture of the distal ulna. Following failed closed reduction, transition to open reduction and pin fixation was required. Six-month follow-up showed a favourable clinical evolution. Evidence suggests that long-term follow-up is needed because of the increased risk of premature physeal closure and subsequent growth disturbances associated with this type of injury.

“…In contrast to fractures of the distal ulnar physis, which appear to be infrequent [3], the injury pattern is often unsuspected until a deformity caused by premature physeal closure becomes evident [4]. Fractures of the distal ulnar physis have been most commonly reported as a type 2 growth mechanism injury pattern [5].…”

Epiphyseal injuries to the distal radius are common in children, but those involving the distal ulna are rare. The most common type of epiphyseal fracture is SalterHarris type II. The authors report on an isolated epiphyseal injury to the distal ulna Salter-Harris type IV, without an associated distal radius injury. To their knowledge, isolated injury Salter-Harris type IV to the distal ulnar epiphysis has not been reported in the literature.

“…The distal radial and ulnar physeal growth plates account for 75% and 81% of the total longitudinal growth of the corresponding bone, respectively 5. Fractures of the physes comprise roughly 15% of fractures in this population, with the distal radius being the most common site 6. Distal ulnar physeal injuries make up only 5% of physeal fractures, forming a small percentage of fractures seen in this population 7.…”

A 10-year-old girl presented to the emergency department having sustained a fall onto an outstretched left hand while playing soccer. Clinical and radiographical assessment identified a Salter-Harris I distal ulna fracture, as well as a buckle fracture of the distal radius. The injury was closed, and she had no neurovascular deficits on examination. She was brought to the operating theatre the following morning for closed reduction under general anaesthesia. Image intensification was used to confirm anatomical reduction, and an above-elbow moulded plaster-of-paris cast was applied. Follow-up clinical assessment at 6 weeks confirmed healing of the fracture, and she proceeded to make a full recovery. This case describes the anatomy and physiology of such rare injuries and outlines treatment principles and potential pitfalls based on best available evidence.
