Cartilage injuries in distal radial fractures

Location: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12899554

Subchondral hematomas have been found with arthroscopy in one third of patients with dislocated distal radial fractures. The aim of the present, prospective study was to determine whether these hematomas might cause radiographic osteoarthrosis. We studied 41 patients (age 20-57 years, 22 women) with a dislocated distal radial fracture. At...

Percutaneous Kirschner-wire pinning for severely displaced distal radial fractures in children

Location: http://www.jbjs.org.uk/cgi/reprint/77-B/5/797

Distal radial fractures are common in children. Recent outcome studies have cast doubt on the success of treatment by closed reduction and application of plaster. The most important risk factor for poor outcome is translation of the fracture. If a distal radial fracture is displaced by more than half the...

Radial Head Fractures eMedicine Orthopedics

Location: http://www.emedicine.com/orthoped/topic276.htm

Article by Steven I Rabin, MD 2005
Radial head fractures and dislocations are traumatic injuries that require adequate treatment to prevent disability from stiffness, deformity, posttraumatic arthritis, nerve damage, or other serious complications. Radial head fractures and dislocations may be isolated just to the radial head (and neck) and the lateral...

Radial Shaft Fractures Orthopaedia

Location: http://www.orthopaedia.com/display/Main/Radial+shaft+fractures

Isolated fractures of the radial shaft (proximal two-thirds) are less common than distal radius fractures. These injuries usually occur from either a direct blow to the forearm or a fall on outstretched hands (FOOSH). Isolated radial shaft fractures require full evaluation and documentation of distal radial ulnar joint...

Ligamentotaxis for Barton's and paediatric distal radial fractures

Location: http://www.josonline.org/pdf/v17i1p28.pdf

PURPOSE: To establish a consensus regarding immobilisation of the wrist following reduction of Barton's and paediatric distal radial fractures. METHODS: Questionnaires were distributed to orthopaedic surgeons at the European Federation of National Associations of Orthopaedics and Traumatology meeting in Lisbon in 2005. Questions included the surgeon's country of practice, hospital,...

Simultaneous dislocation of the radial head and distal radio-ulnar joint

Location: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2556052/

Isolated dislocation of the distal radio-ulnar joint and isolated dislocation of the radial head in adults are not common injuries. A simultaneous dislocation of the radial head and distal radio-ulnar joint with no other injury seems to be extremely rare since only one report was found in the English literature....

Operative treatment for isolated distal ulnar shaft fracture

Location: http://www.eymj.org/Synapse/Data/PDFData/0069YMJ/ymj-43-631.pdf

This study retrospectively evaluated the effectiveness of an open reduction and internal fixation of a tension band wiring technique for treating displaced or unstable comminuted distal ulnar shaft fractures without a radial fracture. Ten patients were treated for an isolated distal ulnar shaft fracture. There were 6 cases of a...

Bilateral fracture-separations of the distal radial epiphyses during weight-lifting

Location: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1478294/pdf/brjsmed00046-0026.pdf

Unsupervised weight-lifting is dangerous and is prohibited at schools and sports clubs. This report describes the case of a thirteen year old boy who, after sustaining bilateral fracture-separations of the distal radial epiphyses during weight-lifting, suffered a fracture of the distal tibial epiphysis in a football injury a fortnight later.

Dustal Third Forearm Fractures eMedicine Orthopedics

Location: http://www.emedicine.com/orthoped/topic79.htm

Distal radius fractures account for approximately 15% of all fractures in adults. A thorough understanding of the pathophysiology and treatment of distal radius fractures is important because these injuries are not limited to just the elderly population. High-energy trauma to the distal radius in younger adults is becoming more prevalent,...

Madelung Deformity eMedicine Orthopedics

Location: http://www.emedicine.com/orthoped/topic513.htm

Madelung deformity (MD) of the wrist is characterized by a growth disturbance in the volar-ulnar distal radial physis that results in a volar and ulnar tilted distal radial articular surface, volar translation of the hand and wrist, and a dorsally prominent distal ulna. It occurs predominantly in adolescent females who...

Ulnar Impaction Syndrome MyPACS

Location: http://www.mypacs.net/cases/ULNA-IMPACTION-SYNDROME-4814654.html

Ulnar variance refers to the relative lengths of the radius and ulna, specifically with regard to adjoining articular surfaces of the distal ulna and radius.� The styloid (or lateral) side of the radius normally projects more distal than does the ulna; however the distal radial articular surface is normally tilted...

Ulnar shortening osteotomy for ulnar impaction Essex-Lopresti syndrome

Location: http://www.eatonhand.com/img/img00070.htm

The Essex-Lopresti syndrome may develop after a proximal radial fracture such as a radial head fracture, excision of the radial head for fracture, or a displaced proximal radial shaft fracture. The Essex-Lopresti syndrome results when such a fracture, associated with disruption of the forearm interosseous membrane, allows proximal migration...

A Report by the IFSSH BONE AND JOINT COMMITTEE.
The IFSSH Board of Directors wished to examine the potential for a universal classification of fractures and dislocations of the hand and wrist. If this could be accomplished, classifications could be standardized as a constant. The method of treatment would then be...

Distal Radius Fractures eMedicine Radiology

Location: http://www.medscape.com/article/398406-overview

The distal radial fracture is the most common forearm fracture. It is usually caused by a fall onto an outstretched hand (FOOSH). It can also result from direct impact or axial forces. The classification of these fractures is based on distal radial angulation and displacement, intra-articular or extra-articular involvement, and...

Distal scaphoid resection arthroplasty for scaphoid nonunion with radioscaphoid arthritis

Location: http://publib.upol.cz/~obd/fulltext/Biomed/2006/1/143.pdf

The authors compare the functional outcome of 8 patients treated by distal scaphoid resection arthroplasty for scaphoid nonunion with symptomatic wrist arthritis before surgery and after a minimum follow-up of 6 months. There was a significantly better range of radial deviation and grip strength at the time of re-examination. Significantly...

BACKGROUND: Factors predicting redisplacement in the cast and early complications in distal radial physeal injuries have not been analyzed before. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We analyzed 109 consecutive children with displaced physeal fractures of the distal radius treated by manipulation under anesthesia RESULTS: Acute carpal tunnel syndrome developed in 2 patients....

The wrist is the most commonly injured region of the upper extremity. Fractures of the distal radius and ulna account for three fourths of wrist injuries. The carpal bones themselves are injured much less frequently but account for up to 10% of injuries to the structures of the hand. Not...

Coronoid Nonunion following elbow fracture dislocation with radial head fracture excision

Location: http://eatonhand.com/img/12519.htm

The coronoid is the anterior lip of the trough which cradles the distal humerus. Elbow fracture dislocations often disrupt both the coronoid and the radial head, leading to instability and recurrent subluxation, particularly if over half of the height of the coronoid is lost. Radial head implants may help inthis...
