– Discussion: – demonstrates intra-articular extension of frx – degree of comminution of posterior facet; – calcaneocuboid joint; – impingement of lateral border of calcaneus on lateral malleolus and entrapment of tendons or nerves can be demonstrated; – latter is best seen with the soft-tissue window examination; – Axial Images: – pt extends hips & … Read more
– See: Distral Radius Frx Menu – Dorsal Barton’s Frx – Volar Barton’s Frx – Unstable Distal Radial Frx – Discussion: – mechanism: – distal radius articular frx principally result from the die punch mechanism of injury that leads to consistent patterns of articular disruption and often w/ radiographic signs … Read more

– Discussion: – characterized by frx of volar margin of the carpal surface of the radius which is associated w/ subluxation of radiocarpal joint; – similar to Smith’s type III; – comminuted frx of distal radius may involve either anterior or posterior cortex and … Read more
– See: Radiographic Findings – Unstable Frx Patterns: – Barton’s frx, Radial-styloid frx, and Smith’s frx, will often be unstable; – dorsal angulation: > initial 20 deg implies instability; – radial shortening of 5 mm or more; – articular frxs that involve radiocarpal joint; … Read more
– Type I: extra articular, undisplaced; – Type II: extra articular, displaced; – Type III intra articular, undisplaced; – Type IV: intra articular, displaced Intra-articular fractures of the distal end of the radius in young adults.
– night stick fracture: mechanism: direct trauma w/ forearm used to block blow – stable frx: – diplaced < 50% = Stable; – periosteum & interosseous membrane are intact & act as restraint to rotation; – unstable fracture: … Read more
