results overall, ≥ 2 mm shortening of the radius was seen in 28% of the patients, 53% had 2 - 5 mm radial shortening and 19% of the patients had more than 5 mm shortening of the radius. most of the participants had acceptable outcomes. the mean angulation was 6.28 ± 2.85 degrees and the mean shortening was 3.92 ± 2.22. thirty-nine percent of the patients had an angulation of less than 5 mm, 56%...

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...

we present an exceedingly rare case of left monteggia-galeazzi fracture-dislocation and right monteggiadistal radius fracture occurring simultaneously in a 20-year old male patient who had fallen 13 meters from a building. the combination of monteggia and galeazzi fracture-dislocation in the same forearm is very rare and, to the best of our knowledge, simultaneous bilateral monteggia and galeaz...

  Background: The main purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between serum vitamin D and the status of bone mineral density in patients with low-energy hip and distal radius fracture. Methods: This retrospective case-control study was performed between January 2013 and January 2014. Participants aged 55 years or older were divided to case group including 85 patients with lo...

Background: There is inconsistent information about the role of psychological factors in the incidence of reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) in patients with distal radius fractures. The present study was thus undertaken to evaluate the relationship between some of these factors and the occurrence of reflex sympathetic dystrophy in patients with distal radius fracture. Methods: One hundred and ...

BACKGROUND Distal radius is one of the most frequent sites for fractures in the elderly population. Despite this, there is a paucity of epidemiological data for distal radius fracture, in particular, distinguishing between high- and low-energy fractures. Our aim was to study the epidemiology of high- and low-energy distal radius fracture in middle-aged and elderly men and women in Southern Norw...
