Fracture–dislocations of the forearm joint: a systematic review of the literature and a comprehensive locker-based classification system

Abstract: Background Monteggia, Galeazzi, and Essex-Lopresti injuries are the most common types of fracture–dislocation of the forearm. Uncommon variants and rare traumatic patterns of forearm fracture–dislocations have sometimes been reported in literature. In this study we systematically review the literature to identify and classify all cases of forearm joint injury pattern according to the forearm joint and three-locker concepts. Methods A comprehensive … Show more

“…Artiaco et al proposed a classification system for forearm and Monteggia variant fractures. This system is based on a “locker” concept which is extrapolated from the functional and anatomic joints of the forearm as described above in the introduction [12] . There are 13 fracture patterns described.…”

“…In brief, a number one signifies the proximal forearm joint including the PRUJ, two signifies the middle radioulnar joint consisting of the forearm bones and interosseous membrane, and three is indicative of the DRUJ. There are also letters to be added, R stands for concomitant radius fracture, I meaning IOM rupture, and U implying concomitant ulna fracture [12] . This classification system is more inclusive of variants or equivalents of Monteggia fractures, but is not commonly utilized.…”

“…In systematic reviews, many eponymous diagnosis have to be converted to anatomical diagnostic groupings and at all studies are excluded based on aberrant or uninterpretable definitions of an eponym or pathology, which can lead to different research results which are often leading for the best scientific-based treatment in clinical practice [ 2 , 9 , 27 ].…”

“…2,4,8 In a comprehensive three-locker based classification, the combination of BBFA fracture with DRUJ dislocation has been classified as 2RIU.3. 1 The mechanism of both bone forearm fracture in combination with DRUJ dislocation is difficult to explain. The force passing through radius and then exiting through the ulna and DRUJ is unlikely.…”
