The TFCC has a substantial risk for injury and degeneration because of its anatomic complexity and multiple functions. Application of an extension-pronation force to an axial-load wrist, such as in a fall on an outstretched hand, causes most of the traumatic injuries of the TFCC.
There is an increased risk of interosseous intercarpal injury if the ulnar variance (the difference in height between the distal end of the ulna and the distal end of the radius) is more than 2mm and there is fracture into the wrist joint. [5] Triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) injury occurs in 39% to 82% of cases.
Another accepted treatment is an external fixator accompanied by the tension band wiring technique. [5] Tension band wiring is a technique in which the bone fragments are transfixed by Kirschner wires, which are then also used as an anchor for a loop of flexible wire. As the loop is tightened the bone fragments are compressed together.
The Galeazzi fracture is a fracture of the distal third of the radius with dislocation of the distal radioulnar joint.It classically involves an isolated fracture of the junction of the distal third and middle third of the radius with associated subluxation or dislocation of the distal radio-ulnar joint; the injury disrupts the forearm axis joint.
To be fair, we were in Toulouse for less than 48 hours and stayed within the city center, so I realize that doesn't give me the most comprehensive perspective. Still, first impressions are important.

The most important signs and symptoms of compartment syndrome are observable before actual contracture. What is known as the five Ps of compartment syndrome include: pain, generally the initial symptom, accompanied by pulselessness, pallor, paralysis, and paraesthesias. Pain will likely also increase upon extension of the affected limbs hands ...
