Abstract

Four adult female patients were treated with an intramedullary Steinmann pin for an unstable extra-articular distal ulnar fracture associated with a distal radial fracture treated with plate osteosynthesis. All showed good radiographic and functional outcomes. One patient required removal of the Steinmann pin.
