摘要

Case

A 20-year-old pregnant female presented with an ulna fracture after a crush and bending type injury. Anatomic reduction of her ulna was not possible due to plastic deformation of the radius, requiring a corrective osteotomy of the radius. She is now 16 months out from surgery with full painless range of motion and radiographic union.

Conclusion

Plastic deformation of forearm fractures in adults is a rare phenomenon. It is possible that the patient’s pregnancy contributed to her injury. Patients with uncommon fracture morphology can make operative intervention more complicated and necessitate additional procedures to achieve optimal motion and alignment.
