<unk>  (left) and repair (right) with three pins, wires, and incision closure with staples Nondisplaced<unk> s In<unk> s with little or no displacement, immobilization with a posterior splint may be sufficient. Elbows may be immobilized at 45°–90° of flexion for 3 weeks, followed by limited (90°) flexion exercises. Displaced<unk> s Most<unk> s are displaced and are best treated surgically: Tension band fixation Tension band fixation is the most common form of internal fixation used for non-comminuted<unk> s. It is typically reserved for noncomminuted<unk> s that are proximal to the coronoid. This procedure is performed using Kirschner wire (K-wires) which converts tensile forces into compressive force. Intramedullary fixation and plates Single intramedullary screws can be used to treat simple transverse or oblique<unk> s. Plates can be used for all proximal ulna<unk>  types including Monteggia<unk> s, and comminuted<unk> s. Excision and triceps advancement This method is indicated for cases when open reduction and internal fixation is unlikely to be successful. For example: extensive comminutions, elderly patients with osteoporotic bone, and small or non-union<unk> s.
