Abstract:
We report the case of an irreparable fracture - dislocation of the ulnar head with a concomitant fracture of the radius (Galeazzi lesion), treated by implantation of a Herbert Ulnar Head Prosthesis((R)). A stable distal radio-ulnar joint was achieved by careful dissection of a posterior soft tissue flap and accurate reduction of the radius.
