What Is an Ulnar Fracture?
An ulnar fracture is a break in the ulna, one of the bones of the forearm. This type of fracture can be seen in people of all ages, and it is typically caused by a direct impact to the ulna, such as that which might be sustained in a fall or a physical argument. The symptoms of an ulnar fracture are very distinctive: the patient usually experiences extreme pain and a limited range of motion, and in the case of an open fracture, the pieces of the broken bone protrude through the skin.
