Abstract: | A relatively or absolutely too long ulna leads always to pain in the wrist, so that a compensation in length of both forearmbones is achieved by shortening osteotomy. The gradual ulna shortening osteotomy, the stylectomy and the resection of the caput ulnae with or without radius transposition osteotomy are available as shortening operation. In 17 patients of the Gießener Unfallchirurgischen Klinik we performed in 14 cases a shortening osteotomy of the ulna and in 3 cases a resection of the caput ulnae. The shortening osteotomy lead in all cases to a reduction of complaints and to an improvement of the mobility of the wrist. Due to frequent arthropathy the resection of the caput ulnae should be taken more often into consideration in older people. |
