What is the management for the condition depicted below?
Ans. D. Internal fixation with compression platingThe picture shown above is a Galeazzi fracture dislocation (reverse Monteggia's/Piedmont fracture). There is a fracture of the lower third of radius and subluxation of the distal radio-ulnar joint. The treatment of choice is open reduction and internal fixation with compression plates.The counterpart of Galeazzi is Monteggia's fracture-dislocation where there is a fracture of the upper third of ulna with dislocation of the radial head.Both of these fractures are fractures of necessity, i.e., it is necessary to perform open reduction and internal fixation for best results.
Closed reduction
Cast immobilization
