Overview

CT-scan in the case of ulnar bone fracture is the best modality if you can not have an exclusive diagnosis by X-ray itself can not be made.

Ulnar Bone Fracture CT Scan Findings

  • CT-scan in the case of ulnar bone fracture is the best modality if you can not have an exclusive diagnosis by X-ray itself can not be made.
  • Its been reported that the articular fractures of the distal radius were statistically more likely to occur at the intervals between the ligament attachments than at the ligament attachments.
  • The most common fracture sites were the center of the sigmoid notch, between the short and long radiolunate ligaments, and the central and ulnar aspects of the scaphoid fossa dorsally. These results suggest that CT may be used to identify the subsequent propagation of the fracture and the likely site of the impaction of the carpus on the distal radius articular surface[1][2][3].
