Fracture of the distal radial shaft: mistakes in management. Management of complications of forearm fractures.

High (up to 90%) complications rates seen if treated nonoperatively ( Perron 2001, Hughston 1957)Ītesok KI et al.Requires ORIF for acceptable outcome because of loss of stability at DRUJ and pull of forearm muscles causes loss of proper alignment in cast,.If unable to reduce, orthopedic consult in ED.Closed reduction of the radius followed by reduction of the ulna in the DRUJ, with application of long arm splint.Managed conservatively, if non-reducible or unstable may require ORIF.There is usually a displaced fracture in the radius and a dislocation of the ulna at the wrist, where the radius and ulna come together. This injury affects both bones of the forearm. Closed reduction of radius fracture and splinting with long arm splint in supination The fracture extends through a portion of the bone, causing it to bend on the other side.Managed with ORIF If unable to reduce radial head, orthopedic consult in ED.Priority is closed reduction of the radial head with attention to anatomic alignment of ulna with application of long arm splint.DRUJ and elbow forGaleazzi fracturesMonteggia fracturescompartment.

If discharging from ED after reduction, all need close follow-up with orthopedics (within 1 week) The Galeazzi fracture is a fracture of the distal third of the radius with dislocation of the distal radioulnar joint.All cases should be discussed with an orthopedist.Open fractures require immediate orthopedic consultation in the ED.
