Summary

This study details a rare case of bilateral Galeazzi fracture-dislocations with an irreducible distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ). Successful surgical management involved open reduction of the DRUJ due to tendon interposition.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Traumatology
  • Hand Surgery

Background:

  • Galeazzi fractures involve radius fractures with distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) disruption.
  • Bilateral cases are uncommon, and irreducible DRUJ poses significant treatment challenges.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with bilateral Galeazzi fracture-dislocations.
  • One side demonstrated an irreducible distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ).

Findings:

  • The irreducible DRUJ was caused by interposition of the extensor carpi ulnaris tendon.
  • Anatomic reduction and stable internal fixation of the radius, with open reduction of the DRUJ, led to successful outcomes.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of intraoperative assessment for DRUJ stability.
