Aka: Galeazzi Fracture-Dislocation, Galeazzi's Fracture, Galeazzi Fracture, Dupuytren's Fracture of Radius, Reverse Monteggia Fracture
  1. See Also
    1. Forearm Fracture (GRUM Mnemonic)
    2. Monteggia's Fracture
  2. Epidemiology
    1. Rare in children
  3. Description
    1. Fracture of the distal to middle-third shaft of radius
    2. Dislocation of Distal radio-ulnar joint (ulna will appear medially displaced at the wrist)
      1. Risk of Ulnar Nerve injury
  4. Mechanism
    1. Fall on Outstretched Hand with wrist extended and pronated
  5. Exam
    1. See Forearm Fracture
    2. Evaluate for wrist deformity
    3. Evaluate for distal radioulnar joint tenderness
  6. Signs (Triad)
    1. Radius Fracture (distal third)
    2. Radius Shortening
    3. Radio-ulnar dislocation (often missed)
      1. Occurs due to shortening of Fracture
      2. Shortening can only occur with injury elsewhere
  7. Associated Conditions
    1. Distal radioulnar space widening
    2. Ulnar styloid Fracture
    3. Radius shortening
    4. Ulnar dislocation
  8. Management
    1. Surgery usually required
