conclusions we recommend the additional 2d-fluoroscopic tangential view for detection of screw misplacements caused by overlength, with penetration on the dorsal cortical surface of the distal radius, predominantly observed for the most lateral screw position. the use of intraoperative 3d fluoroscopy did not become accepted in our clinical routine, due to the technical demanding and time consum...

Stable distal radius fractures are treated non-surgically in a cast. Unstable distal radius fractures are treated with surgery. The majority of patients have good outcome, but up to one fifth are not satisfied. In this thesis the overall aim was to compare newer surgical techniques, evaluate our treatment over a longer time-period, and identify risk factors for poor outcome. In a previous rando...

Introduction: Elbow joint is the second most common joint to dislocate after shoulder. 20 percent of elbow dislocations are associated with fractures. Elbow dislocations are commonly associated with coronoid process, radial head and olecranon fractures. Dislocations of the elbow commonly accompany proximal ulna or radial fracture. Elbow dislocation with a distal radius fracture is rare. In the ...
