 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 8 Mini screw fixation of ulna coronoid fracture experience of 9 cases Of: Zhu Yongqiang Wu Yingchang Sun Haiqiang [Abstract] Objective To study the micro-screw fixation of fracture of ulna coronoid process and results of treatment. Methods 9 cases of fracture of ulna coronoid mini open reduction and screw fixation and early functional exercises. Results All patients were followed up for 6 months review -31 months, mean follow-up of 20 months, elbow function assessment index evaluation, treatment, excellent rate of 88.9%. Conclusion of micro screws off for a fixed ulnar coronoid process, with satisfactory reduction and reliable fixation method is simple and conducive to the early functional exercise, etc., is the treatment of fractures of ulna coronoid ideal way. [Keywords:] internal fixation of fracture of ulna coronoid micro screws Fracture of ulna coronoid process is more rare, often associated with elbow dislocation and fracture of the elbow. Its purpose is to retain the treatment of activity and stability of the elbow, and fracture of the ulnar coronoid process in dealing with the development of the concept has been changing . the author from 2005 to 2009 were treated , type 9 cases of fracture of ulna coronoid, open reduction and internal mini screw fixation, good results are as follows. 1 Clinical data 1.1 General information on the group 6 males, 3 females; aged 16 to 50 years. The causes of injury: fall straight position, the distal humerus coronoid process due to the indirect impact injury in 5 cases, 3 cases of traffic injury, fall injury 1 cases, including 7 patients with posterior dislocation of the elbow .9 cases of emergency patients to the hospital after injury and are diagnosed by radiology film. by Regan and Morry type [1], , 3 cases, type in 6 cases. injuries to the operation time from 3 to 6 days, an average of 4.8 days. 1.2 treatment of 7 patients in this group are first closed reduct
