Malunion 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 کاملThe functional importance of malunion in distal radius fractures.
The purpose of our study was to investigate which radiological parameter had the maximal detrimental effect on functional outcome following malunion of distal radius fractures. Sixty-four women over 40 years of age who had sustained low-energy wrist fractures were included in the study. The mean age of the patients was 64 years. We compared the ulnar variance, radial inclination and palmar tilt...
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...
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 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...
