Dual extensor tendon entrapment in Galeazzi fracture-dislocation: a case report.
A rare case of blocked reduction of the distal radio-ulnar joint in a Galeazzi fracture-dislocation is presented. In this case both the extensor carpi ulnaris and extensor digiti minimi tendons were displaced on either side of the ulnar head. After relocation of these tendons the distal radio-ulnar joint could be easily reduced.
