Change: HisThe shape of his forearm was not normal. The swelling from the radial fracture was evident, as was the prominence of the ulnar styloid and the radial deviation. It was clear that the patient had sustained a bony injury.There is a displaced oblique   View changes from previous version. (Word count: 827)

Change:  The artifact along the ulnar aspect of the forearm is from an imobolisation device.The distal ulna is demonstrated to have a dorsal dislocation at the DRUJ.

Change: The radiographer noted the scaphoid fracture (white arrow) and another bony fragment between the distal radius and ulna (black arrow). The avulsed fragment is sourced from the ulnar styloid. It was considered that a dedicated wrist view was warranted. RadiographyPatients with Galeazzi fractures will   View changes from previous version. (Word count: 860)
