A comparative study of functional outcome of intraarticular distal radius fractures treated with K wire versus conservative management

Background: Intraarticular distal radius fractures are commonly seen of the upper extremity showing bimodal distribution in pediatric and elderly adults. The age fracture is typically peaks 5-14 year group also patients more than 60 years age. Aim: To compare functional outcome intraarticular treated with k wire versus conservative management. Material methodology: study was conducted between July 2020 to December 2021 department orthopaedics, RMMCH, 20 were included study. 10 wire/ligamentotaxis wire, methods. Follow up done for a minimum period 6 months, assessed using Quick DASH Scoring system. Results: 12.9, which found be better 17.49. No poor group. 2 had Malunion malunion Superficial pin site infection one patient. Stiffness 1 patient 3 group.Conclusion: In our study, results managed surgical intervention by percutaneous fixation K method closed reduction cast immobilisation.
