1224 Effect of Distal Brachioradialis Release During Open Reduction and Internal Fixation of Distal Radius Fractures

Abstract Aim The study aim is to determine the impact of brachioradialis release during open reduction and internal fixation distal radius fractures using a volar approach Method Total 40 patients was treated with Open intra articular fractures. Distal Brachioradialis performed 19 patients, while 21 had no BR surgery. Radiological parameters including Radial height, Inclination tilt were measured 1 month post-operatively, functional outcomes assessed modified mayo wrist scores Quick-dash Results There significant difference between age, gender pre-operative conditions indicating that both groups (BR without release) have similar demographic characteristics. Pre-operatively disturbed values for radial inclination, tilt. Postoperatively, mean closer normal ranges inclination tilt; however, height least adequately restored radiological parameter group (11.54 ± 1.35 versus 10.21 2.29 Non-BR group). Pain, status, grip strength in whereas showed higher ROM DASH P 0.048 0.025 respectively. Conclusions enhances operative fixation, restoring necessary subsequent reported complications.
