Fourteen patients underwent evaluation of the distal radioulnar joint following Galeazzi's fracture. Five of 12 patients who underwent a preoperative magnetic resonance imaging scan of the wrist had evidence of injury to the triangular fibrocartilage complex. These 5 patients also had abnormal intraoperative radiocarpal arthrograms. The amount of radial shortening in the injured forearm was measured prior to surgical treatment. Injury to the distal radioulnar joint appeared to be independent of the amount of radial shortening.

Early functional outcomes following open reconstruction of the triangular fibrocartilage complex.

Introduction: The triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) plays a pivotal role in wrist stability and function. TFCC injuries are a common cause of ulnar-sided wrist pain and distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) instability, often requiring surgical intervention when conservative treatments fail. This study evaluates the outcomes of open surgical repair of TFCC injuries, with a focus on functional recovery between 6 and 18 months postoperatively.

Introduction: Transitional fractures about a closing physeal plate in adolescents are most common at the distal tibia physis but have been reported in other anatomical locations, including the distal radius. Only 10 prior cases of transitional fractures of the distal radius have been reported in the prior literature. This study aims to report the findings and outcomes from the largest series to date of these rare injuries.

The study aimed to evaluate the reliability of the intraoperative extended tangential view (ETV) in assessing the reduction and fixation of the dorsoulnar fragment (DUF) during the treatment of comminuted distal radius fractures (DRFs) with volar plates. A retrospective review included 26 patients who underwent open reduction and volar locking plate internal fixation for AO C3-type DRFs with DUF between March 2023 and January 2024. Each patient received intraoperative ETV fluoroscopy and immediate postoperative wrist CT scans.

Objective: To objectively quantify antebrachial morphology from computed tomography (CT) scans of Cocker Spaniels with and without humeral intracondylar fissure (HIF).
Study Design: Retrospective imaging.
Methods: Three-dimensional (3D) rendered CT scans of the antebrachii of Cocker Spaniels with HIF (Group 1), or without HIF but with medial coronoid process disease (Group 2) or without HIF and with no evidence of elbow pathology (Group 3) were retrospectively reviewed.
Extensor Tendon Rupture After Distal Ulna Resection: A Multicenter Case Series.

The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, Columbus, USA.
Background: The Darrach procedure, comprising distal ulna resection, has been used to treat numerous wrist and distal radioulnar joint pathologies. Extensor tendon rupture from the proximal ulnar stump is a recognized, but lesser known postoperative complication. We present this case series of extensor tendon ruptures following Darrach procedures and their subsequent reconstructions to share different surgeon experiences with this complication.
