The distal radius is the most common site of a fracture. The type of fracture presenting, stability/instability and concomitant injuries are the factors that determine whether the fracture should be treated conservatively or surgically. Possible sequelae include a dystrophy syndrome.

Introduction: Regional anesthesia increases in popularity in orthopaedic surgery. It is usually applied in elective surgeries of the extremities. The aim of this study was to assess indication of the use of general anesthesia in the surgical treatment of distal radius fractures.

In fatalities caused by falls from height, the analysis of the injury pattern, alongside with circumstantial data, is crucial for understanding the dynamics of the incident. In rare cases, even a differentiation between accidental and intentional events might be possible. The injury pattern of the lower limbs is particularly significant in this context.

Background: Severe metaphyseal comminution and sizable bone defect of the distal femur are high risks of fixation failure. To date, no exact magnitude of comminution and bone loss is determined as an indication for augmentation of fixation construct. The present study aimed to investigate the influence of metaphyseal gap width, working length, and screw distribution on the stability of the fixation construct.

Case: A 41-year old man fell from height sustaining displaced radial shaft and ulnar styloid fractures underwent open reduction internal fixation of the radius with early recognition of a radiocapitellar dislocation and longitudinal forearm instability in the early postoperative period. Revision surgery was performed 13 days postoperatively involving annular ligament reconstruction, elbow spanning external fixation, and distal radioulnar joint stabilization. Favorable functional and radiographic outcomes are shown at 1-year follow-up.
