Overview

The prognosis ulnar fracture depends on many factors. However, the factors under the orthopedics surgeons control are: treatment method, timing of internal fixation in open fractures, soft-tissue handling, and restoration of osseous anatomy.

Natural history, complication, and prognosis

The prognosis is more guarded for open fractures of the shaft of the ulna with major skin and soft-tissue loss. In these patients, several operative procedures may be necessary, including initial debridement and stabilization, skin grafting, pedicle or free-flap applications, late reconstruction of the bones, and, frequently, tendon transfers.
