The Galeazzi fracture-dislocation is an injury pattern involving a radial shaft fracture with associated dislocation of the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ); the injury disrupts the forearm axis joint.

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...

- fracture of radial shaft (between middle and distal 1/3's) & dislocation of distal radioulnar joint;
- usually the dislocation is dorsal, but in some cases can be palmar;
- fracture is almost always located just above proximal border of...

fracture of the radius at the junction of the middle and distal thirds, with associated subluxation of the distal ulna

Author: James McCarthy, MD, FAAOS 2005
The term congenital dislocation of the hip dates back to the time of Hippocrates. This condition, also known as hip dysplasia or developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), has been diagnosed and treated for several hundred years. Most notably, Ortolani, an Italian pediatrician in the...

The carpus, or wrist, is a complex joint that provides abduction and adduction in the frontal plane of the upper extremity, extension and flexion for hand movements, and supination and pronation in the coronal plane.

angulated fracture at the junction of the proximal and middle third of ulna accompained by ANTERIOR dislocation of the radial head
etiology:
* transmission of force thorugh the hand and forearm with the elbow partially flexed
* interosseous ligament "drags" the radius with the distal two-thirds of the ulna
MUGR mnemonic
* Monteggia with...
