Functional outcome in patients with unstable distal radius fractures, volar locking plate versus external fixation: a meta-analysis
The aim of this study was to compare bridging external fixation with volar locked plating in patients with unstable distal radial fractures regarding functional outcome. A systematic search was performed in the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Medline and EMBASE. All randomized controlled trials that compared bridging external fixation directly with volar locked plating in patien...
متن کاملComparing the effect of volar plate fixators and external fixators on outcome of patients with intra-articular distal radius fractures: A clinical trial
BACKGROUND Distal radius fractures (DRFs) are much more prone to malunion than unstable extra-articular fractures. There is no clear consensus concerning what the proper treatment should be, and the best approach to use for displaced DRFs remains challenging. OBJECTIVE To compare the effect of two different therapeutic surgical methods, i.e., volar plate fixators and external fixators, on out...
متن کاملPredicting the outcome of distal radius fractures.
There are myriad factors that affect patient satisfaction following a distal radius fracture, including anatomic alignment, age, motion, pain,and hand dominance to name a few. The seeming contradictions in the literature serve to illustrate that individual outcomes are not entirely predict-able because of the different functional demands,expectations, and pain tolerance for each patient. Elderl...
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 کاملShort-term Results of Using Injectable Bone Cement Technique in the Treatment of Unstable Distal Radius Fractures
Background & Aims: Treatment of osteoporotic distal radius fracture with metaphyseal defect is often complicated by secondary displacement, because of posterior cortex comminution. The aim of this study was to investigate functional outcomes and advantages of injection of bone cement in stabilizing and maintaining this fracture reduction. Methods: This prospective study was performed on 20 ...
