[Closed functional treatment of fractures of the ulnar shaft].
Various treatments of isolated fractures of the ulnar shaft have been attempted. The rates of non-union have varied widely, and impaired movement of the elbow and wrist is common at the end of the treatment. We present a series of eight patients who were treated initially with an above-elbow plaster, followed by a brace on the lower arm. All fractures healed with good functional results.
