title: [Galeazzi fracture. 9 cases in the orthopedic-traumatology service (Brazzaville-Congo)].
abstract: The authors give an account of nine cases of Galeazzi fractures, observed on a four-year period (1987-1991). These uncommon and unstable injuries were treated, in all cases, by rigid osteosynthesis of the radius. The treatment of the distal radio-ulnar dislocation, depending on its importance, was K-wire stabilization (4 cases), plaster-cast immobilization in supination (2 cases). There was no peculiar treatment in 3 cases. The results were influenced by operative delays. However we obtained 4 excellent results, 3 good results and 2 fair results.
