There is almost no tendency to reproduction of thedeformity after it is once reduced. Fracture of the shaft of the ulna occurs usually because ofa direct blow received upon the arm raised for protection. Itis more uncommon than fracture of the radius (see Figs. 255, 256, 257)- Localized tenderness, pain upon attempting to use the fore-arm, obscure discomfort in the arm after an injury—these may bethe only signs of fracture. There is no general swelling of theforearm. Ordinarily, there will be very little displacement,because the radius serves as a splint for the broken bone. Crepi-
