- Indications for Operative Treatment:
- all displaced, unstable fractures of the radius and ulna in adults;
- radial shaft fractures: all displaced fractures of the radius with greater than 10 deg of angulation or with subluxation of proximal or distal R-U joint
- ulnar shaft fracture: isolated fractures of the ulna with angulation greater than 10 deg;
Essex Lopresti Fracture
http://www.wheelessonline.com/ortho/essex_lopresti_fracture- mechanism: fall from height;
- in this type of frx, radius will also migrate proximally if radial head is excised;
- if injury is not found when it is acute, pt may develop severe wrist pain from radial migration and subluxation, of upto 5-6 mm;
- there may be loss of forearm pronation, supination, and extension;
- late reconstruction(> 4 weeks) of radial instability yields poor results;

http://www.wheelessonline.com/ortho/galeazzis_fracture_adults_1- usually the dislocation is dorsal, but in some cases can be palmar;
- fracture is almost always located just above proximal border of pronator quadratus;
- usually there is anterior angulation w/ transverse or short oblique configuration;

Monteggia Fracture Wheeless
http://www.wheelessonline.com/ortho/monteggias_fracture- hence dislocation of radial head with fracture of proximal 1/3 of ulna is known as Monteggia's deformity.
- Mechanism:
- proposed mechanisms include direct blow & hyperpronation injuries as well as the hyperextension theory;
