Johnson JW(1), Bindra RR. Author information: (1)Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, 4301 West Markham Street, Slot 531, Little Rock, AR 72205, USA. johnsonjeffreyw@uams.edu We report a case of Brodie's abscess of the distal radius that presented 4 years after closed reduction and percutaneous pinning for a closed distal radius fracture. This condition has not been previously reported in the adult distal radius and we detail the clinical features and imaging findings. We also present a new way of management of Brodie's abscess using injectable bone substitute along with adjunctive parenteral antibiotic therapy. DOI: 10.1007/s11552-008-9118-y PMCID: PMC2584216
