Annales Universitatis Turkuensis, Medica-Odontologica, 2011, Turku, Finland. Radiostereometric analysis (RSA) is a highly accurate method for the measu...

background: mal::::union:::: 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 mal::::union::::. methods: in this retrospective study, 14 patients with neglected distal radius mal::::union:::: from 2005 to 2011 were studied. all patients were treated ...

background: there is inconsistent information about the role of psychological factors in the incidence of reflex sympathetic dystrophy (rsd) in patients with distal radius fractures. the present study was thus undertaken to evaluate the relationship between some of these factors and the occurrence of reflex sympathetic dystrophy in patients with distal radius fracture.   methods: one hundred an...

Background: Distal radius fractures are one of the most common fractures of skeletal system and because of the aging of population, its incidence is rising. The aim of the present research was to evaluate the close reduction and percutaneous pin fixation as a treatment option. Material and methods: 44 patients who were type 2 according to universal classification or type 2 or 3 according to Ol...

Distal radius fractures account for approximately 15% of all fractures in adults. Care of these fractures is associated with a myriad of complications. This review focuses on the soft tissue complications encountered during the management of distal radius fractures, including tendon injury, nerve dysfunction, vascular compromise, skin problems, compartment syndrome, complex regional pain syndro...

Pulmonary thromboembolism after distal ulna and radius fractures surgery: A case report a literature review

INTRODUCTION Forward fall-related distal radius fractures account for approximately 20% of all fractures and continue to be the most commonly seen by orthopaedic surgeons [1]. Regardless, our understanding of how these injuries result from dynamic, three dimensional impacts is limited. Duma et al. in 2002 [2] presented an injury risk criteria model for these fractures that included peak axial f...
