Volar Dislocation of the Distal Radioulnar Joint Blocked by Displaced Dorsal Barton Fracture

ABSTRACT

Distal radioulnar dislocation is commonly associated with radius fracture. Most common dislocation pattern is the dorsal dislocation. We present the unique case of volar dislocation of the distal radioulnar joint blocked by displaced dorsal Barton fracture of distal radius and discuss the injury mechanism and anatomic lesions.
