Background: The purpose of this study was to report outcomes in patients with nonstyloid distal ulna fractures treated in conjunction with open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) of distal radius fractures. Methods: A retrospective review of all patients who had undergone ORIF of a distal radius fracture over a 5-year period at a single institution was performed. Radiographic review was performed to identify patients with a concomitant fracture of the distal ulna. Radiographs were examined to determine whether and how the distal ulna fracture was stabilized and to assess healing of the distal ulna. Range of motion (ROM) was determined by review of the patients’ charts. All skeletally mature patients with distal ulna fractures (not including isolated styloid fractures) undergoing surgical fixation of the distal radius fracture were included. Patients were excluded if follow-up was inadequate. There were 172 fractures of the distal ulna meeting the inclusion criteria. Seven patients were excluded. There were 91 patients treated without ulna fixation (ulna-no) and 74 patients treated with ulna fixation (ulna-yes). Results: Seventy-two (97%) of the ulna-yes patients healed. All patients in the ulna-no group healed. The only significant difference in ROM was in pronation, although the magnitude of this difference was relatively small. Conclusions: Fractures of the distal ulna have high rates of healing and result in equivalent motion regardless of whether the distal ulna is treated operatively. Routine surgical fixation of concomitant distal ulna fractures during distal radius ORIF does not appear to be necessary.

Ulnar Styloid Fracture

The distal ulna is composed of the ulnar styloid, ulnar head, and distal ulnar metaphyseal area. Most of distal ulnar metaphyseal fractures are associated with distal radius fractures and this incidence tends to be greater in osteoporotic elderly. Consideration of the treatment of distal ulna metaphyseal fracture should be addressed after treating a distal radius fracture. If it is stable, cast immobilization is preferred, however, if it shows malalignment or instability, an operative method should be considered. More than half of distal radius fractures are combined with an ulnar styloid fracture, and considerable cases of ulnar styloid fractures result in nonunion. However, ulnar styloid nonunion usually does not cause any problems on the wrist. Recent studies of distal radius fractures treated using a volar locking plate have reported that neither the initial displacement nor the size of a concomitant ulnar styloid fracture affects clinical outcome, which suggests surgical approaches may usually not be indicated for ulnar styloid fractures.
