The effects of distal radius fracture malalignment on forearm rotation: a cadaveric study.
Seven fresh cadaveric specimens were used to determine the loss of forearm rotation with varying distal radius fracture malalignment patterns. Uniplanar malunion patterns consisting of dorsal tilt, radioulnar translation, or radial shortening were simulated by creating an osteotomy at the distal end of the radius, orienting the distal fragment position using an external fixator, and maintaining...
متن کاملThe Influence of Distal Radius Fracture Alignment on Forearm Rotation
INTRODUCTION: Fractures of the distal radius are the most common fracture of both adults and children. Distal radius fractures frequently heal with residual displacement and angulation with cast treatment and often cause distal radioulnar joint dysfunction including pain, decreased rotation, weakness, and arthritis. In spite of the frequency of these injuries, the indications for surgical treat...
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 کاملForearm and distal radius fractures in children.
Pediatric forearm and distal radius fractures are common injuries. Resultant deformities are usually a product of indirect trauma involving angular loading combined with rotational displacement. Fractures are classified by location, completeness, angular and rotational deformity, and fragment displacement. Successful outcomes are based on restoration of adequate pronation and supination and, to...
