AI Article Synopsis
- The Galeazzi fracture dislocation is a rare type of forearm fracture in adults, and it is even more uncommon when it occurs on both sides at the same time.
- A case was reported involving a 57-year-old woman who arrived at the emergency room with bilateral Galeazzi fracture dislocations.
- The patient had surgery for stabilization, and after 16 months of follow-up, she experienced positive recovery without any complications.
Article Abstract
The Galeazzi fracture dislocation, an uncommon forearm fracture in adults, becomes even rarer when occurring bilaterally, with limited studies documenting this condition. Here, we report the case of a 57-year-old female who presented to our emergency room with bilateral Galeazzi fracture dislocations. The patient underwent bilateral open reduction and internal fixation of the radial fractures, along with stabilization of the distal radioulnar joints. Follow-up monitoring over 16 months postoperatively showed positive outcomes without complications.

Purpose: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a well-established risk factor for postoperative complications. Distal radius fractures (DRFs) are a common orthopedic injury and often require open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). The rise of ORIF utilization warrants investigation into factors that may expose patients to postoperative complications following DRF ORIF.

Introduction: Although there is no consensus in the literature, it is believed that the Soong classification system and fracture pattern are risk factors for plate removal in distal radius fractures.
Hypothesis: The aim of this large-scale study was to evaluate the relationship between Soong classification, fracture pattern, and implant removal in distal radius fractures.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 795 patients who underwent surgery using a volar locking plate for distal radius fractures at our clinic between 2005 and 2022.

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.

Purpose: The absence of evidence based general guidelines for radiographic follow-ups of pediatric diaphyseal forearm fractures treated with ESIN results in an arbitrary array of X-ray examinations. In most pediatric traumatology departments, an X-ray check is carried out 4 weeks after ESIN osteosynthesis of forearm shaft fractures to detect incipient consolidation of the fracture. However, the elevated sensitivity to ionizing radiation requires special precautions in the pediatric populations.
