Fracture Subperiosteal

A subperiosteal fracture is an injury to the radius that occurs as a result of excessive and persistent stress on the wrist and finger joints, resulting in a fracture of the radial transverse ligament bone at the periosteum of the wrist joint. This disorder occurs in middle age after 40 years. But it often occurs in people involved in various sports, such as basketball, tennis, basketball and others. The most common mechanical damage is caused by falling sports equipment.

The most common cause is a fall on the palm or hand with emphasis on the inner surface of the wrist joint, when the wrist joint is turned inward and minimally displaced to the radial side. The radius may be curved into the carpal radial cavity, resulting in a decreased gap between the palm and the floor, as well as blurring of the radial edge of the forearm bone and cortex.

Symptoms appear immediately after a few hours after the injury and may resemble severe pain in the radial edge of the palm, under the lower limb, which may be aggravated by palpating or pressing on the inside of the wrist joint mechanism with the fingers. Sometimes patients say that the pain spreads from the radial canal and along the front surface of the wrist. There may be a decrease on the broken side of the palm
