Galeazzi Injuries

Rohit Garg et al. Hand Clin. 2020 Nov.

Abstract

Fractures of the radial shaft associated with disruption of the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) are termed Galeazzi fractures. These fractures are unstable injuries requiring open reduction and internal fixation of the fracture to achieve optimal outcomes. DRUJ stability should be carefully assessed intraoperatively and addressed accordingly.

Keywords: DRUJ; Forearm fracture; Galeazzi.
