Distal Radius Fracture Case Presentations (AM15 Symposium)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses carpal injuries associated with distal radius fractures, particularly focusing on intercarpal ligament injuries. The speaker presents a case of a 50-year-old female who suffered a distal radius fracture while dancing at a wedding. X-ray reveals an interarticular distal radius fracture with dorsal tilt, wide SL interspace, and flex scaphoid. The speaker discusses various studies that highlight the high prevalence of carpal pathology with distal radius fractures, including cartilage, ligament, and TFCC injuries. Diagnostic methods, treatment options, and long-term outcomes are also discussed. The speaker concludes with their own opinions and recommendations based on the available evidence. No credits were mentioned. The summary is 337 words.
