  • Title: [Galeazzi lesion in children and adults: the undiagnosed lesion].
    Author: Maman E, Dekel S, Steinberg E.
    Journal: Harefuah; 2002 Jul; 141(7):642-5, 665. PubMed ID: 12187566.
    Abstract:
    Unrecognized Galeazzi fracture dislocation of the wrist (distal radius fracture with radioulnar joint disruption) may lead to a high incidence of permanent functional disability and chronic pain. A high index of suspicion, early recognition, and acute treatment of distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) instability will avoid chronic problems. This review examines the clinical presentation, diagnostic techniques, management and prognosis in children and in adults for this type of lesion.
