  • Title: Variant Salter-Harris Type III Distal Ulna "T" Fracture in the Setting of Galeazzi Equivalent Wrist Injury: A Case Report.
    Author: Puneky GA, Dickerson TE, Harimtepathip PP, Bryan CA.
    Journal: JBJS Case Connect; 2022 Jul 01; 12(3):. PubMed ID: 35809019.
    Abstract:
    CASE: An 11-year-old Caucasian boy presented to the emergency department with a displaced, closed, Galeazzi equivalent (GE) left wrist fracture sustained after a fall. Closed reduction was deemed unsatisfactory because of persistent displacement of the distal ulna epiphysis. An open reduction of the distal ulna and percutaneous fracture pinning was performed. At 1 year, the patient reported return to his preinjury baseline. No evidence of subsequent pathologic growth was detected on follow-up imaging. CONCLUSION: Open anatomic reduction of the distal ulna epiphysis and percutaneous fracture pinning may improve patient outcomes and limit progressive wrist deformity when treating GE wrist injuries.
