Management of distal radius fractures.
T he discovery of the x-ray was 80 years away when Irish surgeon Abraham Colles published his paper about fractures of the "distal extremity of the radius." He had no idea about the possible intra-articular component of this fracture, but he knew that the fracture was unstable and frequently settled back to the deformity that "will remain undiminished through life."l The management of this very...
متن کاملArthroscopic management of distal radius fractures.
Arthroscopy has the advantage of providing a direct and accurate assessment of the articular surfaces and detecting the presence of injuries associated with distal radius fractures. Current indications, although numerous and potentially expanding, also are controversial. This report presents a global view of the current status of arthroscopy in the management of distal radius fractures. The rat...
متن کاملPercutaneous pinning versus pin-in-plaster for treatment of distal radius fractures
Background: Distal radius fractures constitute 17% of all fractures and 75% of forearm fractures in adults. Due to the vital role of the hands in a wide range of daily tasks, quick recovery and fewer complications for the patients are important. The purpose of this study was to compare the two common treatments of distal radius fractures namely, percutaneous pinning and pin-in-plaster. Methods...
متن کاملIncidence and management of zygomatic fractures at a level I trauma center.
PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to evaluate current treatment of zygomatic fractures presenting at a level I trauma center. METHODS Radiology records over a 1-year period were retrospectively reviewed to determine all patients diagnosed with fractures through the zygoma. A total of 1049 computed tomography maxillofacial scans were reviewed which identified 243 patients with fractures thr...
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...
