Abstract IntroductionDistal radius fractures are common and account for approximately 14% to 18% of all adult extremity injuries. On rare occasions, ipsilateral elbow dislocation can be observed additionally. The aim of this study was to analyse the mechanism and level of injury, demographics, and associated injuries in distal radius fractures with ipsilateral elbow dislocations.Methods:Between 2012 and 2019, we searched our trauma database for distal radius fractures with ipsilateral elbow dislocations. All patients older than 18 years old were included. Data on demographics, mechanism of injury, level of energy, and subsequent treatments were collected. ResultsA total of 7 patients were identified. The mean age was 68.7 ± 13.3 years old and the left side was involved in 71.4% of cases. Females were affected in 85.7% (n=6/7) of cases. All suffered from low-energy mechanism without other orthopaedic injuries at a mean age of 71.5 ± 12.3 years old. The one male patient that was included suffered from high-energy trauma at 52 years of age. Most commonly, posterior elbow dislocations were observed (66.7%; n=4/6). Distal radius fracture patterns include two C2, two C3, and one case each of C1-type and B1-type fracture pattern in the low energy group. In the group of patients who sustained high energy trauma, associated injuries include a concomitant open elbow dislocation, an ulnar artery rupture and damage to the flexor digitorum superficialis muscle.ConclusionAlthough distal radius fracture with ipsilateral elbow dislocation is thought to be resulting from high energy injuries, this study shows that most patients were elderly females suffering from low energy mechanisms. If not suspected, this could be missed especially in the setting of altered mental status. Careful physical examination of one joint proximal and one joint distal to the presumed site of injury is recommended.

Abstract Background Acute carpal tunnel syndrome (ACTS) is a known complication of distal radius fractures. This study aimed to document the demographics, range of presenting symptoms and risk factors of patients who develop ACTS following a fracture of the distal radius. Methods A retrospective review of 1189 patients with an acute distal radius fracture treated in the study centre over a one-year period were identified. Demographic and clinical variables were collected and compared between controls (did not develop ACTS) and those patients who did develop ACTS to identify factors associated with developing ACS. Results There were 51 (4.3%) distal radius fractures complicated by ACTS. The mean age of patients who developed ACTS was 56 years (range, 16–89) and 73% were female. The median time of onset post-injury was one week (range, 1–12). There was no association between patient background and comorbidities with the development of ACTS. AO-OTA Type C fractures had significantly increased rates of developing ACTS. Conclusion Four percent of distal radius fractures were complicated by ACTS. There was no association between patient background and comorbidities with the development of ACTS. AO-OTA type C complete articular fractures had a significantly higher rate of ACTS. A suggested treatment algorithm for patients presenting with ACTS has been presented. Level of evidence: III.
