Distal radial shaft fracture with distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) disruption. Unstable pattern: ORIF radius and stabilize DRUJ.
Allman: Type I midshaft; Type II distal; Type III medial third. Neer distal clavicle: Type I stable; IIA/IIB unstable (CC ligaments disrupted); Type I...
I: sprain; II: AC torn, CC intact; III: AC+CC torn with superior displacement. IV: posterior displacement; V: marked superior displacement; VI: inferi...
Types I–V: rim (anterior/posterior), transverse, and complex intra-articular patterns. Large articular fragments or instability need ORIF; small rim f...
Follow ATLS with careful immobilization; CT is first‑line imaging for suspected injury. AO Subaxial classification guides stability and surgical appro...
SC joint dislocations: anterior (more common, often stable after reduction) vs posterior (rare but life‑threatening due to mediastinal compression). P...
Rockwood I–VI classification based on AC/CC ligament disruption and clavicle displacement. I–II: non-op (sling, rehab). III: controversial; IV–VI: sur...
High‑energy axial load injures distal tibial plafond with severe soft‑tissue compromise. Standard of care is staged protocol: **span → scan → settle →...
Tarsal navicular: body, tuberosity, and stress fractures; critical for medial column length and talonavicular congruity. Cuboid: 'nutcracker' fracture...
1st metatarsal fractures affect medial column; greater functional impact. 5th metatarsal: distinguish avulsion (zone 1), Jones (zone 2), and diaphysea...
