Diaphyseal Fracture of the Radius With Dislocation of the Proximal Radioulnar Joint

Complex fracture-dislocations of the proximal ulna and radius in adults: a comprehensive classification

“…2,22,43 A type CII lesion is often associated with a loss of the length, alignment, and rotation of radial shaft fragments, and such conditions may lead to a poor outcome if not correctly treated. 2,25 We believe our classification has several strengths: (1) most of the types of fracture-dislocations of the proximal ulna and radius are included; (2) several fracture types, which were difficult to classify by use of previous systems, may now be located based on their specific features; and (3) the use of a comprehensive classification is paramount because it allows authors to compare surgical outcomes and to realize standardized protocols in the management of these fracture-dislocations.…”

“…It is based on specific pathologic conditions, including the main lesions, each of which affects the prognosis and requires specific treatment. 17,21,22,24,25 An alphanumeric system was used to label each type of injury.…”

Incarceration of the Radial Head Associated With a Radial Head Fracture, Radiocapitellar Dislocation, and Proximal Radioulnar Translocation

“…2 Within these predictable patterns, slight variations do exist and have been discussed in the literature. [3][4][5] There have also been reports of proximal radioulnar joint injuries occurring with diaphyseal radial fractures 6 and coexisting distal radioulnar joint injuries 7 . However, our case report documents one elbow injury variant that has never been reported and does not fall into any typical injury patterns.…”

Isolated radial shaft fracture with unreducable posterior dislocation of the radial head and rupture of the lateral collateral ligament: A case report

“…Recently Linzel et al 15 reported four cases of radial shaft fractures associated with dislocation of the proximal radioulnar joint. In two cases, closed manipulative reduction and plating of the radial shaft resulted in reduction of the proximal radial ulnar joint.…”
