Stabilization of the distal ulna
Abstract
Stabilization of the remaining distal ulna following its resection for various disorders resulting in pain and instability of this joint is necessary for long-term satisfactory results. The method described uses a distally based flap of the extensor carpi ulnaris to provide stability of the distal ulna and support to the carpus along its ulnar border.
