Dynamic splinting in wrist extension following distal radius fractures
BACKGROUND Wrist flexion contracture is a common pathology which presents secondary to distal radius fractures. Joint stability, restoration and early mobilization are frequently achieved through surgical treatment after such an injury. The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the initial effect of dynamic splinting on wrist extension (active range of motion), in both surgical an...
متن کاملStatic progressive splinting to improve wrist stiffness after distal radius fracture: a prospective, case series study.
This is the first prospective consecutive case series study that has examined the effectiveness of static progressive splinting in the management of persistent wrist stiffness following distal radius fracture. Eight patients, seven females and one male with a median age of 49 years (range, 43-56 years), participated in the study. Median time from surgical intervention to splint initiation was 7...
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...
متن کاملDistal radius fractures.
Distal radius fractures are a common injury, particularly in the elderly population. Severity of these fractures is directly related to the bone mineral density of the patient, and clinical results are dependent on this parameter as well. In terms of treatment, several options exist. Nonoperative management consists of closed treatment with casting. Operative treatment options include intrafoca...
