Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Ulna Fractures:

1.	fiberglass (glass fibers)IBA 10/01/2009 - "We agree with prior studies suggesting the equal efficacy of below-elbow versus above-elbow casts in distal radius and ulna fracture treatment using either plaster or fiberglass, but wish to emphasize the importance of not only the cast index, but also the ulnar deviation mold (for most dorsally displaced fractures), as measured by the second metacarpal-radius angle."
2.	TitaniumIBA 05/01/2015 - "Previously, we conducted a pilot study comparing Mg and titanium devices with a rabbit ulna fracture model. " 09/01/2012 - "Titanium elastic nailing radius and ulna fractures in adolescents." 07/01/1996 - "Thirty-seven complex proximal ulna fractures were treated with a dorsally applied, limited-contact titanium plate, contoured to fit the anatomy of the olecranon and proximal ulna. " 11/01/2007 - "Extensor pollicis longus rupture after fixation of radius and ulna fracture with titanium elastic nail (TEN) in a Child: a case report."
3.	MedetomidineIBA 01/01/2014 - "The present case reports a successful use of brachial plexus blockade to supplement medetomidine-ketamine-isoflurane anaesthesia for repair of radio-ulna fracture in an adult cheetah (acinonyx jubatus). " 01/01/2014 - "Use of brachial plexus blockade and medetomidine-ketamine-isoflurane anaesthesia for repair of radio-ulna fracture in an adult cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus)."
4.	Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)IBA 07/01/1994 - "A statistically significantly higher proportion of failures using nitrous-oxide analgesia occurred in patients with completely displaced radius/ulna fractures (p = 0.027). "
5.	Ketamine FDA LinkGeneric 01/01/2014 - "The present case reports a successful use of brachial plexus blockade to supplement medetomidine-ketamine-isoflurane anaesthesia for repair of radio-ulna fracture in an adult cheetah (acinonyx jubatus). " 01/01/2014 - "Use of brachial plexus blockade and medetomidine-ketamine-isoflurane anaesthesia for repair of radio-ulna fracture in an adult cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus)."
6.	Isoflurane FDA LinkGeneric 01/01/2014 - "The present case reports a successful use of brachial plexus blockade to supplement medetomidine-ketamine-isoflurane anaesthesia for repair of radio-ulna fracture in an adult cheetah (acinonyx jubatus). " 01/01/2014 - "Use of brachial plexus blockade and medetomidine-ketamine-isoflurane anaesthesia for repair of radio-ulna fracture in an adult cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus)."

Therapies and Procedures

1.	Ilizarov Technique 01/01/2009 - "This study was carried out on 7 dogs with antebrachial deformity caused by malunion on radius-ulna fracture, treated with the Ilizarov method. " 11/01/2003 - "An 8-year-old male Boxer with a severely contaminated open fracture of the left radius and ulna fracture, produced by a helicopter propeller, was treated using bone transport by the Ilizarov method. "
2.	Transplants (Transplant) 07/01/2014 - "We conducted a study to compare 2 techniques of harvesting ulna bone graft from the olecranon, one using a proximal cortical window (PCW), the other using a dorsal cortical window (DCW), in terms of cancellous bone graft quantity and ulna fracture strength after graft harvest. "
3.	Electroacupuncture 01/01/2014 - "The purpose of this experimental study was to evaluate the effects of electroacupuncture on ulna fracture healing in dogs. " 01/01/2014 - "Histopathologic and Radiographic evaluation of the electroacupuncture effects on ulna fracture healing in dogs."
4.	Surgical Casts (Plaster Cast) 10/01/2009 - "The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of above-elbow versus below-elbow fiberglass casts in maintaining distal radius/ulna fracture reduction and to identify factors associated with treatment failures. " 10/01/2009 - "Recent literature comparing the effectiveness of above-elbow and below-elbow plaster casts appears to suggest that either cast type offers adequate immobilization for distal radius and ulna fractures. "
5.	Osteotomy 02/01/2013 - "The plate was designed for the treatment of distal ulna fractures, but its success has led to an extension of its indications to be used in treating symptomatic basistyloid ulnar nonunions and in ulnar shortening osteotomy for ulnocarpal abutment syndrome. " 12/01/2012 - "A retrospective chart review identified all patients who underwent fixation for proximal ulna fractures and osteotomies between January 2004 and December 2008. " 01/01/2010 - "Recognition of the proximal ulna dorsal angulation (PUDA) is important for anatomic reduction of proximal ulna fractures, nonunions, malunions, or osteotomies, especially when using newer straight precontoured ulnar plates. " 09/01/1998 - "The interosseous vessels should be protected when treating a ulna fracture or a nonunion, or when performing an osteotomy."
