Background: Height is an important factor for medical, nutrition, and forensic sciences; nevertheless, measuring proves to be a challenging task in some cases. In this respect, alternative immediate, accurate, possible anthropometric evaluation needed. Objectives: This study was set find proper formula estimate height from the lengths of ulna tibia Iranian adults. Methods: A total 500 healthy m...

Injuries with the Monteggia fracture-dislocation pattern necessitate operative fixation of the ulna fracture in an adult. It is important to identify this by taking radiographs of the elbow and wrist joints in all cases of ulna fracture. We present a case of an occult Monteggia fracture-dislocation in an adult, which was not apparent on the initial radiographs. A thorough clinical examination a...

INTRODUCTION Volkmann's ischemic contracture (VIC) is a complex and variable flexion deformity of wrist and fingers resulting from fibrosis and contracture of flexor muscles of forearm. It is caused by ischemic injury to the deep tissues enclosed in the tight unyielding osteo-facial compartments secondary to neglected acute compartment syndrome. VIC may be associated with malunion or non-union ...

Giant cell tumour is a benign aggressive bone tumour. Most commonly, it is seen in epiphysiometaphyseal region around knee and distal radius. Proximal ulna is a rare location for giant cell tumour. According to reports, only 4 such cases have been reported in English literature. We report one such case of giant cell tumour of proximal ulna. Patient presented with painless, progressive swelling ...

An inwardly directed curvature of the distal segment of both forelegs of the rabbit has been described. The condition was detected at 2 to 3 weeks of age, developed rapidly, and reached its final and permanent stage at 2 to 3 months of age. Only the distal epiphysis of the ulna was primarily affected and this in the form of a massive chondrodystrophic lesion accompanied by a progressive curvatu...

Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) is a rare vascular neoplasm that can be potentially low malignant and mainly affects infants and adolescents. This tumor usually is seen in the skin, soft tissue, and retroperitoneum. This study is a case of KHE in the long bone of the ulna. The subject was a 7-year-old female patient with osteolytic lesion in the forearm without cutaneous lesions. Histolog...

A retrospective survey for debridement with or without wafer distal ulna resection was performed. Forty six patients responded to a questionnaire on pain, disability and time off work. The mean DASH score decreased from 42 to 28 on average. Thirty two patients were satisfied. The pain was considered severe in 12 patients. There were significant differences in the outcome between debridement onl...

We present a case of 35-year old left-handed woman with recurrent giant-cell tumour affecting 1/4 of the distal part of the left ulna, with associated ulnar nerve involvement. After resection of the tumour and 1 cm of the ulnar nerve, the distal ulna was reconstructed with an individually designed and matched prosthesis, followed by ulnar nerve reconstruction. At 12 months follow-up the patient...

The prevalence of known solitary exostosis is around 1-2 % in the general population. Treatment of an exostosis may consist of resection with or without further treatment for deformity. The distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) acts as the link between radius and ulna at the wrist and is important in the transmission of load. Its anatomic integrity should be respected in surgical procedures or ulnar-s...
