Dynamic splinting in wrist extension following distal radius fractures
BACKGROUND Wrist flexion contracture is a common pathology which presents secondary to distal radius fractures. Joint stability, restoration and early mobilization are frequently achieved through surgical treatment after such an injury. The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the initial effect of dynamic splinting on wrist extension (active range of motion), in both surgical an...
متن کاملPrimary Wrist Hemiarthroplasty for Irreparable Distal Radius Fracture in the Independent Elderly.
Background Volar plating for acute distal radius fractures (DRF) in the elderly has been recommended. Some studies have suggested that open reduction with internal fixation (ORIF) in this situation results in frequent complications. Our purposes were to provide a definition of irreparable DRF in independent elderly patients and to review the results of a preliminary retrospective series of wris...
متن کاملDistal Radius Fractures
With the wide array of treatment options now available, this is an exciting era for the treatment of fractures of the distal radius. An improved understanding of kinematics, bone quality, and muscle forces acting across the fracture has led to increased awareness of a fracture’s relative stability, as well as the development of innovative devices to counteract these forces and restore stability...
متن کاملDistal radius fractures.
Distal radius fractures are a common injury, particularly in the elderly population. Severity of these fractures is directly related to the bone mineral density of the patient, and clinical results are dependent on this parameter as well. In terms of treatment, several options exist. Nonoperative management consists of closed treatment with casting. Operative treatment options include intrafoca...
