background: the present study was designed to ascertain serial changes on distal radius radiographic parameters attributable to aging.       methods: in this prospective study, the sample consisted of 120 healthy individuals who were divided into four age groups each containing 15 males and 15 females. in the two below-20-year-old groups, only ulnar variance could be investigated. wrist radiogr...

Volar plate fi xation with use of either a locking plate or a neutralization plate has become increasingly popular among surgeons for the treatment of dorsally comminuted distal radial fractures. When doing volar plating of radius fractures, we observed a considerable variation in the morphology of the distal radius. Research in the literature reveals rare information about the anatomic variati...

INTRODUCTION Bilateral fractures of the distal radius and scaphoid are extremely rare injuries. CASE PRESENTATION A patient with bilateral comminuted, displaced distal fractures of the radius and bilateral fractures of the scaphoid was treated via internal fixation of the scaphoid fractures with Herbert screws and internal fixation of the distal radius fractures with locked volar plating. C...

Background & Aims: Treatment of osteoporotic distal radius fracture with metaphyseal defect is often complicated by secondary displacement, because of posterior cortex comminution. The aim of this study was to investigate functional outcomes and advantages of injection of bone cement in stabilizing and maintaining this fracture reduction. Methods: This prospective study was performed on 20 ...

BACKGROUND No clinical data for the relationship of pronator quadratus (PQ) muscle to distal radius had been reported. The aim of this study was to investigate the anatomical features of the PQ muscle related to plate osteosynthesis for distal radius fractures in clinical cases. The feasibility of PQ muscle sparing surgery was investigated as well. METHODS Fifty two distal radius fractures (2...

Even though fractures of the distal radius are the most common fracture of the upper extremity, complications concerning the injury are relatively poorly reported. It is thought that flexor tendon ruptures associated with distal radius fracture are caused by attrition by rough surfaces of malunited fracture and irritation by fixation implants. The majority of reported cases usually presents wit...

Introduction: The most common cause of distal radius fracture is a fall on an outstretched hand. Osteoporosis can make a relatively trivial fall result in a broken wrist. Many distal radius fractures in people older than 60 years of age are caused by a fall from a standing position Methodology: Total of 1336 bony injuries were reported to Hospital casualty and orthopedic opd during the study pe...

BACKGROUND Although optimal treatment of distal radius fractures is controversial, surgery has gained popularity. The purpose of this study was to evaluate recent trends in the surgical treatment of distal radius fractures in Finns aged 50 years or more. METHODS A nationwide hospital discharge register-based study was conducted among all patients 50 years of age or older who had a surgically ...
