Nonbridging external fixation for fractures of the distal radius.
OBJECTIVE To assess the feasibility of using standard components from the small AO external fixator set to support fractures of the distal radius with a construct incorporating distal fixation in the periarticular radius fragment that would allow for primary mobilization of the wrist joint during fracture healing. METHODS In a prospective pilot study of a nonbridging external fixator in early...
متن کاملNonbridging external fixation of intra-articular distal radius fractures.
New solutions to difficult problems are always welcome, but nonbridging external fixation of intra-articular fractures is still in its infancy. Multicenter clinical trials are necessary to deter-mine whether the superior results obtained with nonbridging fixation of extra-articular fractures can be duplicated. With further study and new fixator designs, it is anticipated that nonbridging extern...
متن کاملTreatment of unstable fractures of the distal radius by external fixation.
The Roger Anderson external fixator was used in the treatment of unstable fractures of the distal radius in 52 patients, and the results evaluated after a follow-up averaging 58 months. The indications for its use were failure to maintain adequate closed reduction using plaster, and instability of the fracture as determined by the initial radiographs. Our radiological criteria for instability i...
متن کاملComparison of internal and external fixation of distal radius fractures
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE There is no consensus on the difference in effects of internal fixation (IF) and external fixation (EF) on outcomes for the treatment of distal radius fractures. We performed a meta-analysis of randomized clinical studies. METHODS We searched the literature and included studies that compared the effects of IF and EF on the treatment of distal radius fractures. Statistic...
متن کاملExternal fixation of fractures of the distal radius
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE External fixators allowing movement during fracture healing are commonly used for treatment of unstable distal radius fractures. The dynamic Dynawrist fixator with the distal pins in metacarpal bone may avoid fixation problems in comminuted fractures and may reduce the risk of nerve injury. We compared anatomical and functional outcome for the well-established Hoffmann co...
