The radius is the larger of the 2 forearm bones, and its end toward the wrist is known as the distal end. When the part of the radius around the wrist breaks it is a fracture of the distal radius. Fractures of the distal radius are very frequent. Signs of a distal radius fracture are bruising, immediate pain, tenderness, and swelling. Usually, the wrist hangs in a bent or odd way, otherwise called a deformity. These deformities need to be treated by the orthopedic specialists using orthopedic instruments provided by Orthopedic Implants Manufacturers In India.

Tibio Fibular Joint and Vertical Compression Fracture of the Ankle Joint

MECHANISM OF INJURY This is produced because of severe abduction injury. The talus is shifted laterally and the inferior tibiofibular ligament is ruptured. NATURE OF LESION Three types of lesions may encountered: There may be fractures involving both the medial malleoli and lower end of the fibula along with rupture of the inferior tibiofibular ligament. Instead of having fracture of the medial malleolus there may be rupture of the medial ligament. There may not be nay fracture of the fibula but lateral talar shift along with medial malleolar fracture and rupture of the inferior tibiofibular ligament can take place. TREATMENT The results produced by closed reduction are unsatisfactorily. Operative fixation is essential in these cases to ensure stability of the joint. Operative fix...
