A 36-year-old man sustained an injury that was a combination of Essex-Lopresti and Galeazzi fractures. His injuries consisted of a distal radial shaft fracture, a radial head fracture, and disruption of the distal radioulnar joint. These injuries are uncommon and this combination seems not to have been reported. The mechanism of the causative forces and the position of the forearm on impact is different in each of these injuries. These differences may explain the rarity of the combination.
