Abstract Background Isolated fractures of the ulnar head are rare. Only few cases have been reported in literature. Case Description We report a case of a 16-year-old student who was treated for an ulnar styloid fracture conservatively. An associated displaced intraarticular fracture of the ulnar head has been overlooked. He presented late in our clinic with a symptomatic nascent malunion of the ulnar head fracture. A corrective osteotomy by a palmar approach was performed. Fixation by screws was used with an excellent result at 7-year follow-up. Literature Review The rare cases of isolated ulnar head fractures reported in literature were treated by open reduction and internal fixation only in case of fracture dislocation. Clinical Relevance The authors highlight the fact that even a nascent malunion of an isolated intraarticular fracture of the ulnar head may be treated successfully by open reduction and internal fixation.

Aim: To estimate rates of fracture-related infection (FRI) and nonunion and assess the healthcare burden associated with FRI among patients with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) for Type III open tibial shaft fractures (TSFs). Methods: Patients with type III TSF requiring ORIF were identified using MarketScan® Database. Healthcare utilization and total costs were compared using generalized linear models. Results: The rates of FRI and nonunion were 35.99 and 36.94%, respectively, at 365 days. Patients with FRI had a significantly higher rate of readmission, emergency room visit and total healthcare costs compared with patients without FRI. Conclusion: Patients with an ORIF procedure for Type III TSF have a high risk of FRI and nonunion and; FRI significantly increased the healthcare burden.
