Galeazzi Fracture: Definition, Uses, and Clinical Overview
Galeazzi Fracture is a traumatic forearm injury pattern involving a fracture of the radial shaft with disruption of the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ). It is a **condition** (a fracture–dislocation pattern), not a procedure or device. Clinicians use the term to recognize a specific combination of bony and joint injury that changes management priorities. It is commonly discussed in emergency care, orthopedic trauma, and hand/upper-extremity practice.
