Carpal Bone Fractures in Distal Radial Fractures: Is Computed Tomography Expedient?
To the Editor: We read with great interest the article “Evaluation of associated carpal bone fractures in distal radial fractures” by Heo et al. We would like to congratulate the authors for this study. However, the article left a few seminal questions unaddressed that we would like to draw the authors’ attention to. The authors mentioned that out of 223 fractures of the distal end of the radiu...
متن کاملEvaluation of Associated Carpal Bone Fractures in Distal Radial Fractures
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to investigate the frequency and distribution of associated carpal bone fractures (CBFs) in distal radial fractures (DRFs). METHODS Three hundred and thirteen patients who underwent surgical treatment for DRFs between March 2007 and January 2010 were reviewed retrospectively. In this study, 223 patients who had preoperative computed tomography (CT) wer...
متن کاملCarpal alignment in distal radial fractures
BACKGROUND Carpal malalignment following the malunited distal radial fracture is described to develop as an adaptation to realign the hand to the malunion. It worsens gradually after healing of the fracture due to continued loading of the wrist. It is also reported to develop during the immobilization itself rather than after fracture healing. The present work was aimed to study the natural cou...
متن کاملCarpal bone fractures.
Carpal bone fractures make up a significant proportion of injuries to the wrist. The complex bone shape and articulations make diagnosis more difficult and missed injuries more common. This article reviews carpal bone fractures excluding the scaphoid.
متن کاملComputed Tomography Evaluation of Petrous Bone Fractures
DISCLOSURES: The authors declare neither financial support, sponsorship nor conflict of interest. ABSTRACT Background: Petrous bone trauma is the sequel of blunt head injury and can have life threatening complications resulting in immediate mortality. Early detection and good knowledge of the Computed Tomography (CT) findings ensure prompt treatment of both fractures and complications. Objectiv...
