title: [Concomitant carpal injuries in radius fractures. Nature and incidence, analysis of the last 10 years].
abstract: Carpal involvement was detected in 47 cases amongst 2828 radius fractures in the last ten years at the St. Gallen Cantonal Hospital. A radiological correlate of this carpal involvement was found retrospectively in 18 cases. The number is likely to be very much higher with increased attention to this injury! The significance of exact diagnosis is underscored by the observation that the concomitant carpal lesion predominates in the further course and determines the fate of the wrist a long time after the radius fracture has healed up.
