Flexor Carpi Radialis Tendon Rupture in a Distal Radius Malunion [PDF]
Eurasian Journal of Medicine, 2022 We describe a rare case of complete rupture of the flexor carpi radialis in a distal radius malunion. Though the tendon was not repaired, the functional result was acceptable.

Attritional Carpal Dislocation and Flexor Tendon Rupture as a Rare Complication of Conservatively Managed Distal Radius Fracture in a Rheumatoid Patient [PDF]
Journal of Hand Surgery Global OnlineDistal radius malunions are known in rare instances to present a risk of tendon rupture. Rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory arthropathies also place patients at-risk of attritional tendon rupture as a sequelae of tendon degeneration from the ...

Exploring the cost-effectiveness of 3-D-guided versus traditional 2-D corrective osteotomy in patients with a distal radius malunion [PDF]
Cost Effectiveness and Resource AllocationIntroduction Distal radius malunion is a frequent complication after a distal radius fracture, impairing function and quality of life. Corrective osteotomy using conventional two-dimensional (2-D) planning often fails to achieve optimal alignment ...

A comparison of early fixation of distal radius fractures versus late corrective osteotomy of distal radius malunion. [PDF]
ANZ J Surg, 2022 Background: Fractures of the distal radius are common. Closed reduction and moulded casting is often the first line treatment. Malunion after casting is not uncommon and can lead to discussion on acute surgical fixation versus delayed corrective ...
