Case Presentation: A 74-year-old right-hand dominant female, daily pack per day smoker and alcohol abuse with a history of multiple falls presented status post-fall downstairs with an isolated closed distal ulna shaft fracture. The patient was placed in a short arm cast with close interval follow-up for trial of nonoperative management. At two weeks, she returned with continued severe wrist pain and interval radiographic displacement. After further discussion, she opted for surgical stabilization with minimally invasive INnate™ Intramedullary Threaded Nail.
