Galeazzi fractures in children.
We have reviewed 41 children under 15 years of age with a fracture of the radius and disruption of the inferior radio-ulnar joint. Despite the fact that the joint injury had not at first been recognised in 41% of cases and a variety of treatments had been used, the final results of conservative management were generally good. The more distal the radial fracture, the greater were the problems encountered.
