Isolated ulnar shaft fractures. Comparison of treatment by a functional brace and long-arm cast.
In a prospective study, we randomly allocated 39 patients with isolated fractures of the lower two-thirds of the ulnar shaft to treatment either by a prefabricated functional brace or a long-arm cast. Significantly better wrist function and a higher percentage of satisfied patients were found in the braced group. Thirteen patients returned to employment while still wearing the brace but only on...
متن کاملThe functional outcome of surgically treated unstable pelvic ring fractures by open reduction, internal fixation
Abstract Background: Unstable Pelvic fracture, a result of high energy antero-posterior compression injury, has been managed based on internal fixation and open reduction. The mode of fixation in Unstable Pelvic fracture has, however, been a subject of controversy and some authors have proposed a need to address the issue of partial breach of the pelvic ring elements in these injuries. This st...
متن کاملMetacarpal fractures treated by percutaneous Kirschner wire
Introduction: Metacarpals and phalanges are injury prone in daily work and life. These constitute 10% of all fractures. Although these fractures are considered minor injuries, such injuries may cause major disabilities if not taken care of. Most hand fractures can be treated by nonoperative methods with good outcome. However unstable fractures need some form of fixation. Aim of our study is to ...
متن کاملGaleazzi fractures and dislocations.
In 1934, fractures of the middle and distal third of the radius associated with instability of the distal radial ulnar joint (DRUJ) were described by Galeazzi. This type of lesion is characterized by its unstable nature and the need for open reduction and internal fixation to achieve a satisfactory functional outcome. A high index of suspicion should be maintained by the surgeon, and a thorough...
متن کاملGaleazzi fractures in children.
We have reviewed 41 children under 15 years of age with a fracture of the radius and disruption of the inferior radio-ulnar joint. Despite the fact that the joint injury had not at first been recognised in 41% of cases and a variety of treatments had been used, the final results of conservative management were generally good. The more distal the radial fracture, the greater were the problems en...
