Background: Anatomically preshaped plates are increasingly used for stabilization of comminuted olecranon and Monteggia fractures. The purposes of this study were to investigate the morphology of the proximal ulna and to compare morphologic findings with geometry of 4 preshaped ulna plates.
Materials And Methods: Forty human elbows (mean age, 68 years; range, 21-98 years) were measured by 2 independent observers using 64-slice computed tomography scans and 3-dimensional measuring software.
