Q. What of the following best describes the injury below ?
a. Night stick fracture
b. Galleazzi fracture
c. Reverse Galleazzi fracture
d. Monteggia fracture
e. Reverse Monteggia fracture
Answer -
c
The Galleazzi fracture consists of radius fracture at any level with distal radioulnar joint disruption.
The similar injury with distal ulna and distal radioulnar injury is called reverse Galleazzi fracture.
Isolated ulna fracture is night sti K fracture but here distal radioulnar joint seems to be affected.
Monteggia fracture is fracture of proximal ulna and not radius along with radial head subluxation.
