The authors present two rare cases of a paediatric Galeazzi-equivalent fracture. In contrast to Galeazzi's fracture-dislocation in adults, an epiphyseal separation of the distal ulna occurred instead of dislocation of the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) or both. A precise radiographic analysis of the epiphyseal separation of the distal ulna and its anatomical reduction were keys to obtaining a good result in the treatment of paediatric Galeazzi-equivalent fracture.

Dislocated Galeazzi-Equivalent Fracture With Ulnar Physeal Injury in an 11-Year-Old Boy.

Galeazzi-equivalent fracture is a very rare type of fracture. Unlike the "classic" adult form of Galeazzi fracture, where the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) is dislocated and the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) is often damaged, the DRUJ and TFCC may remain intact in children. In this article, we report the case of an 11-year-old boy with a Galeazzi-equivalent fracture.

Fractures of the forearm are common among children and adolescents. Radial shaft fracture with dislocation of the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ), called Galeazzi fracture, is unusual in pediatrics. The Galeazzi-equivalent fracture is a variant of the classic Galeazzi fracture that occurs in children and adolescents.

Pediatric displaced distal metaphyseal ulnar fractures and distal radial buckle fractures are common. However, to the best of our knowledge, their association has never been specifically reported. Thus, classification and management of this pattern remain challenging especially in young children.

We report an unusual clinical presentation and surgical treatment of a Galeazzi-equivalent fracture in which initial closed treatment failed. This case was unique and challenging secondary to the formation of a neoulna volar to an unreduced periosteal sleeve injury, resulting in a bifid radiographic appearance.

Injuries to the pediatric distal forearm and wrist have myriad manifestations. Growth plate injuries can occur in the skeletally immature child. An unfused growth plate is less robust than ligamentous complexes and therefore is more easily injured.
