Abstract:
A 25-year-old man sustained a closed comminuted intra-articular fracture of the distal radius. Tomography showed 180 degree rotation of a palmar medial articular fragment. This rare injury is mentioned only once in the literature. When recognized, open reduction and internal fixation are necessary.
