Proximal ulna stress fracture and stress reaction of the proximal radius associated with the use of crutches: a case report and literature review
Journal of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, 09/11/09

Venkatanarasimha N et al. – The authors report a case of complete stress fracture of the ulna and stress reaction of the radius resulting from the use of crutches in an overweight patient with severe lower extremity arthritis. Plain radiograph showed an undisplaced complete fracture of the proximal metaphysis of the ulna. Magnetic resonance imaging was performed to exclude a pathological cause in view of the unusual fracture site, which confirmed the plain radiographic findings and additionally demonstrated a stress reaction in the proximal radius.
