Although operative and non-operative treatments have been commonly decided by the degree of displacement of the fracture, still there is a controversy specially in those moderately displaced. Herein we report our experience with nightstick fractures. Objective: To evaluate operative and non-operative treatment of nightstick fracture. Materials and methods: We retrospectively reviewed the clinical notes, physiotherapy letters and radiographs of 52 patients with isolated ulnar shaft fractures. Outcome Measurements included radiographic healing, post-operative range of motion and complications. Results: The study included 13 females and 39 males, with a mean age of 26 years [range, 18\u201393 years]. The mean Follow-up period was 32 months ranged from 12 to 54 months. Ten patients were treated non-operatively; forty-two patients had open reduction and internal fixation including six open fractures. The average wait for surgery was 2.5 days. Mobilisation was commenced immediately after the surgeries non-load bearing. 40 patients had no complications post-operatively with good outcome and average of four visits follow-up. In the non-operative group, five out ten failed and had a mean follow-up of nine visits. Conclusion: Satisfactory outcome is to be expected with open reduction and internal fixation. Fractures with less than 50% displacement should be treated on individual bases, considering; age, pre-morbid functional status, co-morbidities, compliance and associated injuries.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.14712\/18059694.2019.41","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,1]],"date-time":"2019-04-01T06:57:37Z","timestamp":1554101857000},"page":"19-23","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.14712\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Nightstick Fractures, Outcomes of Operative and Non-Operative Treatment"],"prefix":"10.14712","volume":"62","author":[{"given":"Mohammed","family":"Ali","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"D.
