AbstractThis work presents the first case of bowing fracture of the ulna associated with dislocation of the distal radioulnar joint. Etiology, radiographs and treatment are described and discussed. Bowing fractures are frequently missed on primary examination, mainly due to their rarity and the fact that the primary examination in the accident and emergency department is undertaken by junior doctors. We find that careful clinical examination combined with good radiographs should reveal the diagnosis. As closed reduction of bowing fractures may be very difficult to carry out, open reduction may frequently be preferable.
