Abstract

We report a case of a Colles’ fracture on the arteriovenous fistula forearm of a maintenance hemodialysis patient treated with percutaneous pinning with the aid of Chinese finger trap reduction combined with cavity creation using a pediatric uromatic balloon with calcium phosphate cement augmentation. Five months after surgery, the arteriovenous fistula was patent, and the range of motion, grip strength, and radiographic findings were comparable with a non-arteriovenous fistula forearm. Wrist x-rays showed a complete union of the distal radius with progressive absorption of the calcium phosphate cement.
