Metadiaphyseal proximal radial fracture around the bicipital tuberosity fixed using a volar distal ulna plate via the volar Henry approach: a case report

Year: 2023

Type: article

Abstract: Fractures of the proximal radial metadiaphysis are relatively uncommon.5 Only a few cases of isolated fractures around bicipital tuberosity have been reported.5,7 Available treatment methods for radial head/neck and diaphyseal fractures may be difficult to apply to fractures of the metadiaphyseal proximal radius. The morphology of the bone, its articulation with the ulna, nearby neurovascular structures, and the origins and insertions of various muscles limit safe surgical exposure as well as the application of an implant.
