The topic Broken Ulnar Bone Fracture you are seeking is a synonym, or alternative name, or is closely related to the medical condition Fracture of the Ulnar Bone.

Quick Summary:

• The forearm (between the wrist and elbow) consists of two bones - radius and ulna; the radius is the larger of the two bones
• A Fracture of the Ulnar Bone is a break or crack, in the longer of the two forearm bones, called the ulna
• A high percentage of adults who sustain forearm fractures, do so in the radius, near the wrist or at the bone shaft, which is considered the middle of the forearm (between the wrist and elbow). However, both bones, the radius and ulna may be injured
• Treatment of the Ulnar Bone Fracture is dependent upon the type of fracture. The prognosis is linked to the severity and type of fracture, but is generally good with proper treatment 

There are several different types of Ulnar Fractures, some of which are categorized based on the injury impact force. The fracture types include:

• Open fracture: In this type of fracture, the bone breaks and pierces the skin, requiring immediate medical treatment. Apart from this, ligament, muscle, and tendon damage, may also occur
• Closed fracture: In this type, the bones do not pierce the skin. However, injury to the soft tissues under the skin, may occur
• Displaced fracture: In this type of fracture, the bone may fragment around the point of breakage and get misaligned; hence, surgery is usually required
• Comminuted fracture: In a comminuted fracture, the bone is broken into three or more pieces. It is considered one of the most unstable type of fracture
• Greenstick fracture: A greenstick fracture means that the bone is cracked, but not broken all the way through
• Buckle (or torus) fracture: A buckle fracture, also known as a torus fracture, occurs when one side of the bone is compressed or buckled, without fracturing the other side
• Metaphyseal fracture: With this type, the fracture injury is confined to the upper/lower part of the shaft, but does not affect the growth plate
• Galeazzi fracture: A fracture that extends through an area of the bone, causing the bone to bend on the other side
• Monteggia fracture: A fracture type that affects both sides of the forearm. This is a severe injury requiring immediate medical treatment
