BOSTON — Aspiration — just ulnar to Lister’s tubercle — may help protect the extensor pollicis longus from rupturing after distal radius fracture, according to a study presented here.

Among the 71 distal radius fractures Taras treated with the technique, three complications occurred by the 1-year follow-up, including one loss of reduction, an EPL rupture and a case of reflex ...

Fractures of the distal radius are among the most common of musculoskeletal injuries; they occur at a rate of approximately 2 such injuries per 1000 individuals per year. As with most fractures ...

Intra-articular fractures of the distal radius (IFDR) represent high energy, complex, unstable injuries, and account for approximately one-sixth of the fractures observed in emergency rooms. 1,2 ...

Johnson & Johnson (J&J) MedTech has launched two new plating systems for distal radius (wrist) and proximal humerus fractures for its Variable Angle Optimised Locking Technology (VOLT) plating ...

Background: Treatment of distal radius fractures in patients of a younger than osteoporotic age is complex, because they often are the result of a high-energy trauma and have intra-articular ...

After a FOOSH injury, either or without a wrist fracture, pain that is predominantly over the end of the ulna (pinky side) long bone is a DRUJ injury until proven otherwise according to orthopedic ...

Objectives —To assess the rate of wrist fractures in young goalkeepers sustained by the specific mechanism of “saving the ball” and the potential influence of ball size and environmental conditions.
