Treatment of ulnar fractures by functional bracing.
Treatment of isolated fracture of the ulna by means of functional bracing was successful in seventy-two cases. No non-unions were encountered. There was minimum deformity and loss of pronation-supination, and no loss of motion at the elbow and wrist. The average time to healing was ten weeks.
