Çalışmanın amacı izole ulna cisim kırıklarının optimaltedavisini ve kırık iyileşmesini etkileyen faktörleri araştırmaktır.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya2013-2016 yılları arasında hastanemize başvurmuş izole ulna cisim kırıklı 43hasta alındı. Hastalar konservatif tedavi edilen ve cerrahi olarak tedaviedilen olmak üzere 2 grupta incelendi. Sonuçların değerlendirilmesinde eklemhareket açıklığı, kavrama gücü, fonksiyonel ve radyolojik sonuçlar kullanıldı. Ağrı vizuel analog skala (VAS) iledeğerlendirildi. Kavrama gücüne ise el dinamometresiyle hasta otururken vedirsek 90 derece fleksiyonda bakıldı. Fonksiyonel sonuçlara kol, omuz elsorunları skorlaması (DASH Skoru) ile bakıldı. Bulgular: Konservatiftedavi edilen grupta 23 hasta, cerrahi tedavi edilen grupta 20 hastabulunmaktaydı. Her 2 gruparasında yaş, cinsiyet dağılımı, kırıkpaterni, yaralanma mekanizması ve kırık lokasyonu açısından fark saptanmadı.Her 2 grup arasında VAS skoru, kavrama gücü, DASH skoru ve kaynama açısından dafark saptanmadı. Konservatif tedavi edilen grupta kaynama süresi ortalama12±1,04 haftayken cerrahi olarak tedavi edilen grupta kaynama süresi ortalama17±1,16 haftaydı (p=0,586). Her 2 grup arasında dirsek ve el bileği eklemhareket açıklığı ve komplikasyonlar açısından da fark saptanmadı.Sonuç: Çalışmamızdacerrahi olarak tedavi edilen hastaların konservatif olarak tedavi edilenhastalardan fonksiyonel ve klinik olarak daha iyi sonuçlara sahip olmadığı vekonservatif tedavi yöntemlerinin sonuçlarının başarılı olduğunu saptandı. İzoleulna cisim kırıkları tedavi yönteminin belirlenmesinde prospektif, çok merkezlive daha geniş hasta serilerini kapsayan çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.</p></abstract>

                            <p>Aim: Conservative and surgical treatment options havebeen suggested for the treatment of isolated ulna shaft fractures. The aim thestudy is to research the optimal treatment option for isolated ulna fracturesand factors affecting the fracture healing.Material and Methods: The study included 43 patients who applied to ourhospital in 2013-2016 with isolated ulna shaft fractures. Patients were dividedinto two groups: conservative treatment and surgical treatment. Joint range ofmotion, grip strength, functional and radiologic results were used for evaluatingthe results. Pain was evaluated by visual analogue scale (VAS). Grip strengthwas measured with a hand dynamometer while the patient was sitting and elbowwas in 90-degree flexion. Functional tests were evaluated with the Disabilitiesof the Arm, Shoulder and Hand Score (DASH Score).Results: 23 patients were in the conservative treatment group and 20 patientswere included in the surgical intervention group. No difference was observed interms of VAS score, grip strength, DASH score and bone union. Average boneunion times for the two groups were as following: conservative treatment group,12±1.04 weeks; surgical treatment group, 17±1.16 weeks (p=0,586). No differencewas observed between the groups in terms of hand wrist joint range of motionand complications.Conclusion: Our study showed thatpatients who were treated by surgical intervention had no functional andclinical superiority to patients with conservative treatment. There is a needfor prospective and multicentre studies comprising a larger series of patientsfor defining the methodology for isolated ulna shaft fractures.</p></trans-abstract>
