Figure 1. Left wrist PA view: Distal radius fracture with widening between the scaphoid and lunate carpal bones, highly suspicious for a scapholunate ligamentous tear. Figure 2.

Radiographic parameters did not correlate with function after conservative treatment of distal radius fractures. Future research should identify factors that may predict outcomes after ...

Older men who have a rapid decline in cortical bone over 4 years have a higher risk for sustaining a future fracture, according to findings published in The Journal of Bone and Mineral Research ...

The DRUJ injury is an injury of the distal radial ulnar joint, which is the joint between the two bones in the forearm which descend to form the top of the wrist.
