ABSTRACT
Treatment of ulnar diaphyseal fractures can range broadly from nonoperative with immobilization to surgical intervention with a variety of implants or approaches. At a Level 1 trauma center, a series of ulnar shaft fractures have been treated using a percutaneous plating technique that is base beneath the extensor carpi ulnaris. This technique description illustrates relevant anatomy, important patient and injury characteristics, implant considerations, and potential outcomes and complications. The described treatment option provides an effective way of spanning comminuted fracture patterns without disrupting the surrounding biology while providing stable fixation. An associated patient series is included which enumerates associated injuries and describes limited follow-up. In the multiply injured trauma patient, such a fixation method also had potential benefits for their overall care and rehabilitation.
