Computer-assisted Treatment of Distal Radius Malunion
Intra-articular malunions represent an exceptional technical challenge for the treating surgeon. Multidetector CT scans (MDCT) with three-dimensional (3D) surface rendered images are increasingly used not only for the evaluation of malunions, but also to develop a road map for surgery in patients who have been selected for corrective osteotomy.1,10,12 CTbased virtual pre-operative planning, inc...
متن کاملOperative treatment of distal radius fractures.
The incidence of distal radius fractures is increasing together with the average age of population. Intra-articular incongruity is the most probable cause of unsatisfactory outcome of distal radius fractures in younger and more active patients. Thus, the main goal in the treatment of distal radius fractures should be restoration of articular congruence. A computed tomography (CT) is recommended...
متن کاملMalunion of distal radius fractures in children
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Distal forearm fractures in children have excellent remodeling potential. The current literature states that 15° is the maximum acceptable angulation limit, though studies focusing on remodeling capacity above this value are lacking. We present data on the remodeling process in children with distal radius malunions with an angulation of ≥ 15°. PATIENTS AND METHODS Retro...
متن کاملThe functional importance of malunion in distal radius fractures.
The purpose of our study was to investigate which radiological parameter had the maximal detrimental effect on functional outcome following malunion of distal radius fractures. Sixty-four women over 40 years of age who had sustained low-energy wrist fractures were included in the study. The mean age of the patients was 64 years. We compared the ulnar variance, radial inclination and palmar tilt...
متن کاملTreatment of neglected malunion of the distal radius: a cases series study
BACKGROUND Malunion is the most common complication following distal radius fractures. Aim of this study was to evaluate the results of distal radius corrective osteotomy and plate fixation by dorsal approach in the malunion. METHODS In this retrospective study, 14 patients with neglected distal radius malunion from 2005 to 2011 were studied. All patients were treated with an opening wedge os...
