A 28-year-old male presented to the emergency department with an isolated ulnar shaft fracture secondary to a ballistic injury with a wooden pellet gun. This injury is also known as a "nightstick fracture," which is a common eponym in orthopedic surgery used to describe a fracture of the ulnar shaft. The eponym gained its title for the injury commonly seen when in a defensive position while being attacked with a wooden club. It is widely accepted that this infamous injury was popularized in the 1960s as a sequela of the many race-related riots across the United States. This case details how the nightstick fracture is still prevalent as a result of political protesting today, despite modern-day methods of non-lethal riot control.
一名28岁男性因被木质气枪枪击导致单纯尺骨干骨折，被送往急诊科。这种损伤也被称为“警棍骨折”，是骨科手术中常用的一个常见专属名词，用于描述尺骨干骨折。这个专属名词因在防御姿势下被木棍攻击时常见的损伤而得名。人们普遍认为，这种臭名昭著的损伤在20世纪60年代因美国各地许多与种族相关的骚乱后遗症而广为人知。本病例详细说明了尽管有现代非致命性防暴手段，但如今警棍骨折仍因政治抗议而普遍存在。
