Half of nonosteoporotic patients will develop post-traumatic arthritis, specifically limited radial deviation and wrist flexion. This arthritis can worsen over time. [6] Displaced fractures of the ulnar styloid base associated with a distal radius fracture result in instability of the DRUJ and resulting loss of forearm rotation. [citation needed]
A year or two may be required for healing to occur. [2] About 15% of people have a Colles' fracture at some point in their life. [3] They occur more commonly in young adults and older people than in children and middle-aged adults. [3] Women are more frequently affected than men. [3] The fracture is named after Abraham Colles who described it ...
Chauffeur's fracture, also known as Hutchinson fracture, is a type of intraarticular oblique fracture of the radial styloid process in the forearm. [1] The injury is typically caused by compression of the scaphoid bone of the hand against the styloid process of the distal radius. It can be caused by falling onto an outstretched hand.
Wrist osteoarthritis is gradual loss of articular cartilage and hypertrophic bone changes (osteophytes). While in many joints this is part of normal aging (senescence), in the wrist osteoarthritis usually occurs over years to decades after scapholunate interosseous ligament rupture or an unhealed fracture of the scaphoid.
An ulna fracture is a break in the ulna bone, one of the two bones in the forearm. [2] It is often associated with a fracture of the other forearm bone, the radius. [1] [3]An ulna fracture can be a single break as in a so called nightstick fracture, which can be caused by someone being hit on the inside of the forearm often by a stick, notably when they are holding their arm up to protect ...
De Quervain syndrome causes pain over the styloid process of the radius. [3] [4] This is due to the passage of the inflamed extensor pollicis brevis tendon and abductor pollicis longus tendon around it. [4] [5] The styloid process of the radius is a useful landmark during arthroscopic resection of the scaphoid bone. [6]
An excessively long styloid process of the ulna can cause painful contact with the triquetral bone in the wrist, known as ulnar styloid impaction syndrome. [1] Radiology is used to diagnose it. [1] Conservative management involves injection of triamcinolone, while surgery involves shortening of the styloid process of the ulna via resection. [1]
The management and treatment of SLAC wrist depends on the stage at the time of diagnosis. The options for management can be separated into two broad categories: non-surgical and surgical. Less advanced SLAC wrist may be managed initially with non-surgical options including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs , wrist splinting , and steroid ...
