Brodie’s Abscess of the Distal Radius: An Unusual Complication after Percutaneous Pinning
Tóm tắt
We report a case of Brodie’s abscess of the distal radius that presented 4 years after closed reduction and percutaneous pinning for a closed distal radius fracture. This condition has not been previously reported in the adult distal radius and we detail the clinical features and imaging findings. We also present a new way of management of Brodie’s abscess using injectable bone substitute along with adjunctive parenteral antibiotic therapy.
