2. Ulna fracture - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulna_fracture

   An ulna fracture is a break in the ulna bone, one of the two bones in the forearm. [2] It is often associated with a fracture of the other forearm bone, the radius. [1] [3]An ulna fracture can be a single break as in a so called nightstick fracture, which can be caused by someone being hit on the inside of the forearm often by a stick, notably when they are holding their arm up to protect ...

3. Internal fixation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_fixation

   Implant that has been used for fixation of a broken wrist. Closed reduction internal fixation (CRIF) is reduction without any open surgery, followed by internal fixation. It appears to be an acceptable alternative in unstable distressed lateral condylar fractures of the humerus in children, but if fracture displacement after closed reduction exceeds 2 mm, open reduction and internal fixation ...

4. Monteggia fracture - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monteggia_fracture

   Direct blow on back of upper forearm would be a very uncommon cause. In this context, isolated ulnar shaft fractures are most commonly seen in defence against blunt trauma (e.g. nightstick injury). Such an isolated ulnar shaft fracture is not a Monteggia fracture. [citation needed] It is called a 'nightstick fracture'.

5. Distal radius fracture - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distal_radius_fracture

   Distal radius fractures are often associated with distal radial ulnar joint (DRUJ) injuries, and the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons recommends that postreduction lateral wrist X-rays should be obtained in all patients with distal radius fractures in order to preclude DRUJ injuries or dislocations. [11]

6. Classification of distal radius fractures - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classification_of_distal...

   Fracture with a dorsal tilt. Dorsal is left, and volar is right in the image. There are a number of ways to classify distal radius fractures.Classifications systems are devised to describe patterns of injury which will behave in predictable ways, to distinguish between conditions which have different outcomes or which need different treatments.

8. Galeazzi fracture - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galeazzi_fracture

   Galeazzi fracture after surgical fixation. Galeazzi fractures are best treated with open reduction of the radius and the distal radio-ulnar joint. [3] It has been called the "fracture of necessity," because it necessitates open surgical treatment in the adult. [4] Nonsurgical treatment results in persistent or recurrent dislocations of the ...

9. Reduction (orthopedic surgery) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduction_(orthopedic_surgery)

   Closed reduction is the manipulation of the bone fragments without surgical exposure of the fragments. See also: Closed reduction with internal fixation Open reduction is where the fracture fragments are exposed through surgical dissection of tissues.
