Ulnar-shaft fracture needs no treatment. A pilot study of 10 cases.
Ten adults with 10 isolated ulnar-shaft fractures were treated by early exercises. The patients were followed until radiographic consolidation. The average healing time was 6 weeks. There was no delay in union, and loss of forearm rotation was negligible.
