Summary

Background of the study:

Various studies show that the outcome of unstable distal ulna fractures after open reduction and internal fixation is better than closed reduction. The previous plate system for the distal ulna fractures is applied exclusively on the extensor side. This often leads to irritation of the extensor tendons, as well as problems with pronation and supination. With the new shape of the angle-stable distal ulna plate, the investigator hopes that the stability of the fracture osteosynthesis will remain the same and that it will be better tolerated with regard to the surrounding soft tissue, especially the extensor tendons. In this way, an otherwise practically unavoidable removal of osteosynthesis material could - at least in some cases - be avoided and some patients spared a follow-up operation.

With this in mind, the investigator tries to achieve the greatest possible reconstruction and stability for early functional follow-up treatment with a slightly bulky implant placed in the tendon-free area.
