Cadaveric study shows biomechanical stability of dual minifragment plates in ulna fractures, suggesting a viable alternative.
Dual minifragment locked plating offers biomechanical stability comparable to to that of a standard 3.5 mm plate fixation of ulna shaft fractures, making it a potential alternative to the latter that may minimize soft tissue irritation; however, clinical research is necessary to confirm its efficacy and safety in vivo.
