Do I need distal radial fracture surgery?

What does ulna fractures mean?

It is commonly known as the Ulna. The fracture of the ulna extends from the distal tip going all the way up to the styloid base. If there is no displacement during the fracture, this fracture may go unnoticed in an X-ray. If the fracture has been caused near the base, then it may make the distal radio-ulnar joint unstable.
