Official title
Evaluation of Dual Fixation of Distal Ulna Fractures by Flexible Intramedullary Nail and Mini Locked Plate 2.7 mm
Overview
Although isolated fixation methods, such as intramedullary nails or plate fixation, are commonly employed, certain fracture patterns-particularly comminuted, osteoporotic, or unstable fractures- represent a challenge to achieve stable fixation and restoring normal anatomy . Dual fixation, combining an intramedullary nail with a low-profile 2.7-mm mini locked plate, aims to capitalize on the strengths of both techniques-a concept known as "orthogonal or hybrid stabilization". This combined approach provides enhanced biomechanical stability, allows for early mobilization by sharing the mechanical load, and minimizes the risk of non-union or hardware failure. Studying the clinical and radiological outcomes of this dual fixation strategy is essential to establish its efficacy and safety in managing complex distal ulna fractures.
