Summary

This study is made to see and evaluate the outcomes of treating and fixing ulnar shaft fracture in children by antegrade versus retrograde intramedullary k wires

Detailed description

This study is made on children with ulnar shaft fracture and treating their fracture by intramedullary k wires ,dividing them into two groups ,one of them the child ulnar fracture is reduced and fixed by intramedullary antegrade k wire and the other group the fracture is reduced and fixed by retrograde k wire ,and compare the functional, clinical and radiological outcomes between the two groups

Conditions

• Fracture of Ulna Shaft

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	ulna shaft fracture fixation in children by intramedullary k wire	* In the 1st group The Antegrade intramedullary k wire with appropriate diameter according to the child ulna diameter is introduced from the olecranon of the fractured ulna,cross the fracture site after good reduction under C arm in the anterioposterior and lateral views and the wire continues until reaching before the distal ulna . * In the 2nd group The Retrograde intramedullary k wire with appropriate diameter is introduced from the diatal end of the ulna and cross the fracture site after good reduction under C arm and continues until reaching before the olecranon.
