title: [Lesions of the distal radio-ulnar joint in compression-extension fractures of the distal extremity of the radius. Six cases with associated anterior dislocation of the ulnar head].
abstract: A particular course of markedly displaced wrist fracture associated with complete dislocation of the distal radio-ulnar joint and a real anterior dislocation of the ulnar head is related. In 5 other identical cases, treatment with external fixation achieved a more favourable result. These 6 cases concerning a particular type of wrist fracture, and a review of the literature, led us to suggest a potential pattern of TFCC lesions. Finally, from an anatomical classification of the ulnar compartment, we propose some therapeutic guidelines concerning the ulnar side for more common fractures.
