Abstract
Background
Galeazzi fracture is characterized by a fracture of the radial shaft associated with disruption of
the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ). Although open reduction and internal fixation of the radial
fracture is the standard treatment, the role of additional DRUJ stabilization in improving
postoperative functional outcomes remains controversial. This study was conducted to assess
the role of DRUJ stabilization and its impact on functional outcomes in patients with Galeazzi
fractures.
Keywords
