Circumstances of Injury:

On June 15, 2024, Andriy was on a combat mission as part of his unit. While the group was advancing, a landmine detonated in their path. The explosion inflicted injuries on Andriy that required immediate medical attention.

Diagnosis:

• Gunshot and shrapnel wound to the right forearm with a comminuted fracture of the proximal third of the right ulna with displacement.

Details:

1. Gunshot and shrapnel wound:
   • Damage to the tissues of the forearm caused by penetrating shrapnel.
   • Accompanied by destruction of soft tissues, and potentially vessels or nerves, complicating recovery.
2. Comminuted fracture of the ulna:
   • The ulna is broken into several fragments.
   • Displacement of these fragments disrupts the anatomical alignment and requires surgical intervention to restore stability and function.

Clinical Solution:

Osteosynthesis of the Ulna Fracture Using a Plate Designed for the Proximal Ulna.

Surgical Plan:

1. Specialized Plate Fixation:
   • A plate specifically designed for the proximal part of the ulna will be used to stabilize the fracture.
   • Provides precise alignment and rigid fixation of bone fragments.
2. Restoration of Bone Structure:
   • Correct anatomical positioning of the ulna will be achieved, ensuring the forearm regains its structural integrity.
3. Optimal Healing Environment:
   • Rigid fixation promotes proper bone regeneration, reduces the risk of non-union, and supports long-term recovery.
