  • Title: Galeazzi fractures: our modified classification and treatment regimen.
    Author: Fayaz HC, Jupiter JB.
    Journal: Handchir Mikrochir Plast Chir; 2014 Feb; 46(1):31-3. PubMed ID: 24573826.
    Abstract:
    While diaphyseal fractures of the forearm are a common orthopedic injury, Galeazzi fractures are difficult to treat. The current knowledge on pathobiomechanics and modified therapeutic decisions implicate the need to devise an updated classification and treatment regimen of Galeazzi fractures. We challenge the concept that isolated fractures of the radius should be considered as a Galeazzi fractures as long as stability of the distal radioulnar joint is not proven. Contrary to others we demonstrate that the fracture location alone is not sufficient to determine the stability of the distal radioulnar joint.
