Although the technical details of distal radius fracture fixation in athletes are largely similar to the general population, the issues surrounding the injury, desire to return to sport, and rehabilitation require specialized attention. Athletes are generally healthy, with a drive to recover and must balance the risk of long-term consequences of returning to play too early with the potential loss of scholarship, salary, or opportunities for advancement. Outcomes after nonoperative and operative treatment of distal radius fractures are generally excellent in athletes and return to the same level of sport occurs in most patients.

Evaluation of using grip strength and hand muscle cross-sectional area to predict secondary fractures post distal radius fracture.
Arch Osteoporos

Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Queen Mary Hospital The University of Hong Kong, 102 Pok Fu Lam Road, Hong Kong, China.
Unlabelled: Grip strength measurement, as a surrogate of sarcopenia diagnosis, effectively predicts secondary fracture risk in distal radius fracture patients. This simple tool enhances clinical practice by identifying high-risk patients for targeted interventions, potentially preventing or reversing functional decline and recurrent fractures.
Purpose: To evaluate grip strength and hand muscle cross-sectional area as predictors of secondary fracture risk in patients with a history of distal radius fracture (DRF), serving as surrogates of the diagnosis of sarcopenia.

Purpose: Distal radius fractures (DRFs) are often initially assessed by junior doctors under time constraints, with limited supervision, risking significant consequences if missed. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) can aid in diagnosing fractures. This study aims to internally and externally validate an open source algorithm for the detection and localization of DRFs.

Background: Distal radius physeal injuries can result in growth arrest and progressive deformity in children. Ulnar epiphysiodesis may be used to prevent deformity in the skeletally immature child; however, predicting success may be challenging. The purpose of this study was to (1) develop a method to predict successful ulnar epiphysiodesis, and (2) determine the utility of adding a sliding bone autograft as an adjunct to achieving successful epiphysiodesis.

Distal radius fracture nonunion can result in significant deformity, loss of function, and chronic pain. Presented here is a case of distal radius nonunion that was surgically reconstructed with a pedicled distal ulna bone graft based on the periosteal branches of the posterior interosseus artery (PIA). This technique has limited prior utilization for adult distal radius nonunion treatment but offers an effective option for surgical reconstruction of distal radius nonunion with preservation of the radiocarpal joint, utilizing a less invasive surgery that also reduces hospitalization stay.

Introduction: The peripheral radioulnar articulation and the bony radioulnar articulation make up the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ), a diarthrodial trochoid synovial joint stabilizers for soft tissues. Of the DRUJ's stability, only around 20% may be attributed to the bony articulation. Treatment for DRUJ injuries resulting from a solely ligamentous rupture varies and is subject to debate.
