METHOD: We retrospectively reviewed 13 patients aged 18-59 from 1996 to 2005 with a distal unstable forearm fracture. All were treated with open reduction and internal fixation of the radius. The ulna was stabilized either by an open reduction and internal fixation or by a closed reduction with...
Once the muscles are fatigued and with adequate conscious sedation, a method similar to distal radius fracture reduction is performed. The wrist is hyperextended with traction, then volar flexed with counterpressure on the lunate. A palpable clunk should be felt when the lunate is reduced. This ...
Incongruent DRUJ: the ulnar side of the distal radius and radial side of the ulna should converge in the form of a Gothic arc. This arc should not be interrupted The criteria for exclusion are: Patients younger than 18 years or older than 76 years old Acute limb threatening ischemia, defi...
