Atypical ulnar fractures: a narrative review of current concepts and a case of bilateral surgical management

초록

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.
