Plain radiographs of both elbow joints demonstrate a slightly superiorly displaced fracture of the right proximal ulnar shaft and a nondisplaced fracture of the left proximal ulnar shaft with cortical sclerosis of the osseous ends.
The fractures are symmetrical and perpendicular to the long axis of both ulnar bones and represent advanced pseudofractures - Looser zones.
Bilateral elbow joint effusions are also seen, more marked on the right.
