  • Title: [Galeazzi's fracture in the x-ray picture].
    Author: Schwickert H, Kauczor HU, Schadmand-Fischer S, Schild H.
    Journal: Aktuelle Radiol; 1993 May; 3(3):194-8. PubMed ID: 8518312.
    Abstract:
    Galeazzi's fracture represents the rather rare association of a fracture of the radial shaft with disruption of the distal radio-ulnar joint (13). The assessment of 19 galeazzi's fractures revealed the typical displacement of the distal radial fragment with a concomitant contraction in 7 and a lateral dislocation to the ulnar and/or volar side in 7 cases. The characteristic dorsal and/or lateral dislocation of the ulna following the disruption of the distal radio-ulnar joint was seen in 16 patients. Besides this dislocation additional radiographic signs of the rupture of the capsule and ligaments were a widening of the joint space of the distal radio-ulnar articulation shown on the ap-projection in 10, a pathological shortening of the radius or ulnae in 7 and the avulsion of the ulnar styloid process in 10 patients.
