Updates to Study Attributes
Findings
was changed:
PA oblique and Laterallateral radiographs of the wrist and proximal forearm demonstrate a fracture at the mid to distal thirds of the radial shaft with overriding of the fragments.
There is a widening of the distal radio-ulnar joint with dorsal displacement of the ulna on the lateral view consistent with distal radioulnar dissociation. This pattern of fracture and dislocation is known as Galeazzi fracture-dislocation.
