How to treat ulnar coronoid fracture

The treatment of ulnar coronoid fractures depends on the severity and stability of the fracture, including non-surgical treatment and surgical treatment, postoperative rehabilitation training. The treatment of ulnar coronoid fractures depends mainly on the severity and stability of the fracture. The following are some common treatment methods: 1. Non-surgical treatment: For fractures that are not significantly displaced or stable, non-surgical treatment is usually used. This includes immobilization of the affected limb with a forearm sling or brace, restriction of movement, and physical therapy and rehabilitation to help restore joint function.2. Surgical treatment: Surgical treatment may be more appropriate for fractures that are significantly displaced or unstable, or are accompanied by other injuries. The goal of surgery is to restore the anatomy and stability of the ulnar coronoid process. Common surgical methods include: open reduction and internal fixation: open the skin surgically to expose the fracture site, and then use internal fixation materials such as plates and screws to reduce and fix the fracture fragment. Arthroscopic surgery: For minor fractures or elbow synovitis, arthroscopic surgery can reduce and stabilize the fracture in a minimally invasive manner, while dealing with other problems in the joint. 3. Postoperative rehabilitation: Whether surgical or non-surgical treatment is used, postoperative rehabilitation is very important. Rehabilitation training includes range of motion exercises, muscle strength training, recovery of flexion and extension functions, etc., to promote the recovery of elbow function and prevent complications. It should be noted that the treatment of ulnar coronoid fracture should be comprehensively evaluated according to individual conditions, including fracture type, displacement degree, patient's age and health status. During treatment, patients should follow the doctor's advice and actively cooperate with treatment and rehabilitation training to obtain better treatment results. In addition, for elderly patients or patients with other health problems, treatment options may vary and more careful evaluation and selection of treatment methods are required. If an ulnar coronoid fracture occurs, seek medical attention promptly for professional diagnosis and treatment.
