Narrative review highlights concepts of atypical ulnar fractures in patients on antiresorptive therapy, suggesting improved management through surgical methods.
Atypical ulnar fractures (AUFs) are rare complications that are often linked to long-term antiresorptive therapy. Although atypical femoral fractures are well-studied, AUFs lack standardized diagnostic and treatment protocols. This review summarizes current knowledge on AUFs, including their pathophysiology, diagnostic criteria, and management. A case of bilateral AUFs treated with two distinct osteosynthesis methods is presented, emphasizing the principles of biological healing and mechanical stabilization.
