Abstract
Non-union of the ulnar diaphysis after isolated ulnar shaft fracture is uncommon. Complications due to non-union of the ulna must therefore be very rare. A case of a stress fracture of the radius in a postmenopausal woman following an isolated ulnar shaft fracture and non-union is presented. The mechanism of the stress fracture and propositions for preventing non-union of the ulnar shaft after an isolated fracture in the osteoporotic patient are discussed.Entities:
