Background: Galeazzi fracture involves of the distal 1/3rd radius shaft associated with dislocation radioulnar joint. Open reduction and rigid internal fixation is goal standard treatment. The aim this study was done to evaluate functional outcome managed by open radius.Methods: conducted in department orthopaedics Government Medical college Jammu from December 2018 February 2021. 30 patients w...

The distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) is a complex structure that contributes to full, painless forearm rotation and weight bearing. Stability requires adequate bony architecture and robust soft-tissue support. Arthritis of the DRUJ between the sigmoid notch of the distal radius and the ulnar head can be caused by traumatic, inflammatory, congenital, and degenerative processes. Initial management ...

This paper presents the wrist joint MR images of the EULAR-OMERACT rheumatoid arthritis MRI reference image atlas. Reference images for scoring synovitis, bone oedema, and bone erosions according to the OMERACT RA MRI scoring (RAMRIS) system are provided. All grades (0-3) of synovitis are illustrated in each of the three wrist joint areas defined in the scoring system--that is, the distal radio...

Fractures of the distal radius are among the most common injuries of the upper extremity, though treatment has traditionally focused on restoration of the radiocarpal joint and late sequelae may persist. X-ray imaging underestimates sigmoid notch involvement following distal radius fractures. No classification system exists for disruption patterns of the sigmoid notch of the radius associated w...
