Nonbridging external fixation for fractures of the distal radius.
OBJECTIVE To assess the feasibility of using standard components from the small AO external fixator set to support fractures of the distal radius with a construct incorporating distal fixation in the periarticular radius fragment that would allow for primary mobilization of the wrist joint during fracture healing. METHODS In a prospective pilot study of a nonbridging external fixator in early...
متن کاملExternal fixation of fractures of the distal radius
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE External fixators allowing movement during fracture healing are commonly used for treatment of unstable distal radius fractures. The dynamic Dynawrist fixator with the distal pins in metacarpal bone may avoid fixation problems in comminuted fractures and may reduce the risk of nerve injury. We compared anatomical and functional outcome for the well-established Hoffmann co...
متن کاملExternal fixation for the treatment of intra-articular fractures of the distal radius: short-term results.
BACKGROUND There is controversy as to which is the preferred treatment for distal radius intra-articular fractures--anatomic reduction or external fixation. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the radiologic and functional outcome following external fixation of these fractures. METHODS Between January 2003 and March 2005, 43 patients with distal radius intra-articular fractures were treated using a mini...
متن کاملDISPLACED- COMMINUTED INTRAARTICULAR FRACTURES OF THE ADULT DISTAL HUMERUS: FUNCTIONAL RESULTS AFTER INTERNAL FIXATION
Background: Intra-articular T- type or Y- type fractures of the distal end of the humerus are relatively rare, and consequently few surgeons will be able to attain extensive experience with the surgical treatment of these injuries. The current emphasis is on operative intervention with rigid internal fixation and early mobilization. Methods: In this prospective and retrospective study, we r...
متن کاملComparison of internal and external fixation of distal radius fractures
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE There is no consensus on the difference in effects of internal fixation (IF) and external fixation (EF) on outcomes for the treatment of distal radius fractures. We performed a meta-analysis of randomized clinical studies. METHODS We searched the literature and included studies that compared the effects of IF and EF on the treatment of distal radius fractures. Statistic...
