title: Isolated fractures of the shaft of the ulna.
abstract: Fractures of the shaft of the ulna are described and a simple classification is proposed. Statistics are analysed in respect of mode of treatment and time of healing, and the unique mechanism of direct trauma is discussed. This survey showed that operative treatment has no place whatsoever in the treatment of these fractures.
