Avulsion fracture at the fovea of the ulna. A report of two cases.
We report two cases of avulsion fractures at the fovea of the ulna. This injury is caused by a strong distraction force which avulses the insertion of the triangular ligament at the fovea of the ulna. This injury can be classed as an injury to the triangular fibrocartilage complex.
