Abstract

Purpose

The goal of this study was to investigate whether immobilization in supination is necessary to prevent recurrent distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) instability in patients older than 18   years with a Galeazzi fracture-dislocation and a stable DRUJ following open reduction and internal fixation of the radius.
