The 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 کاملUlnar Shortening Osteotomy After Distal Radius Fracture Malunion: Review of Literature
Malunion of distal radius fracture is often complicated with shortening of the radius with disturbed radio- ulnar variance, frequently associated with lesions of triangular fibrocartilage complex and instability of the distal radioulnar joint. Positive ulnar variance may result in wrist pain located in ulnar part of the joint, limited ulnar deviation and forearm rotation with development of deg...
متن کاملComputer-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 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 کاملInfluence of ulnar translation of the radial shaft in distal radius fracture on distal radioulnar joint instability.
It has been reported that the distal interosseous membrane (DIOM) of the forearm constrains the dorsal dislocation of the distal radius. A residual ulnar translation deformity of the radial shaft in distal radius fractures has the potential to cause distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) instability when triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) injury is also present, because it may result in detension...
