We describe the case of a 13-year-old patient with a left wrist physeal fracture of the ulna and radius. X-Ray showed a Salter-Harris type II injury of the radius, and CT and MRI identified the following: type II epiphysiolysis of the radius with a metaphyseal wedge and type IV fracture of the ulna, with interposition in the focus of the fracture of the extensor carpi ulnaris tendon, as well as...

The Madelung deformity can result in pain and decreased function of the wrist and hand. None of the surgical techniques available has been shown consistently to improve grip strength, range of movement or relieve pain. In this prospective study we have treated 18 patients with the Madelung deformity (25 wrists) by wedge subtraction osteotomy of the radius and shortening of the ulna. Our results...

Ulna-shortening osteotomy is a therapeutic option for ulnar impaction syndrome. We aimed to assess the long-term subjective and functional outcome after ulna-shorteming osteotomy. We conducted a retrospective study of 18 patients presenting with ulnar impaction syndrome of various aetiologies, with an average follow-up of 5.9 +/- 3.4 years. Seventeen patients (94.4%) were satisfied and would un...
