Abstract
Galeazzi fracture is defined as the association of radius fracture and inferior radioulnar joint dislocation. Its diagnosis is often unrecognized initially. The purpose of our study is to determine the epidemioclinical features of Galeazzi fracture-dislocations in adults and to assess the functional and radiological outcomes of our case series. We conducted a retrospective descriptive study of 45 patients with Galeazzi fractures treated surgically whose data were collected in the Department of Orthopaedics at the Habib Bourguiba University Hospital, Sfax, Tunisia, over a period ranging from 2009 to 2018. We used Mestdagh score for the clinical evaluation of the results. The mean time between fracture and treatment initiation was 5.35 days. Fixation of the radius was performed using screwed plate in 39 cases and fixation of the radio-ulnar joint using a plug in 13 cases. The average time for union was 10.5 weeks. Outcomes were excellent in 35 patients, good in 3 patients, medium in 6 patients and adverse in a patient. We had 3 cases of sepsis at the level of the plug and two cases of malunions. Galeazzi fracture-dislocation is an under diagnosed disorder in some cases. Dynamic intraoperative examination after solid fixation of the radius can allow for good functional results. © Nizar Sahnoun et al.Entities:
