title: Irreducible dorsal radiocarpal fracture dislocation with dissociation of the distal radioulnar joint: a case report.
abstract: We report a case of dorsal radiocarpal fracture dislocation with dissociation of the distal radioulnar joint. Closed reduction was unsuccessful due to interposition of the osteochondral fragments and open reduction and fixation was carried out with a satisfactory end result. The advantages of volar approach and use of external fixator in the management of this injury are discussed.
