Conservative management of minimally displaced isolated fractures of the ulnar shaft.
The purpose of this prospective study was to compare three different ways of conservative management of isolated fractures of the ulnar shaft: immediate mobilisation, below-elbow plaster cast and above-elbow plaster cast immobilisation. Over a 24-month period, 102 minimally displaced isolated fractures of the distal two-thirds of the ulnar shaft were treated on an outpatient basis. Thirty-two f...
متن کاملConversion to below-elbow cast after 3 weeks is safe for diaphyseal both-bone forearm fractures in children
BACKGROUND It is unclear whether it is safe to convert above-elbow cast (AEC) to below-elbow cast (BEC) in a child who has sustained a displaced diaphyseal both-bone forearm fracture that is stable after reduction. In this multicenter study, we wanted to answer the question: does early conversion to BEC cause similar forearm rotation to that after treatment with AEC alone? CHILDREN AND METHOD...
متن کاملGap index: a good predictor of failure of plaster cast in distal third radius fractures.
The aim of this study was to assess the usefulness of the cast index and an indigenously developed gap index as measures of poor moulding of plaster. Twenty cases of re-manipulation of distal third radius fractures in children excluding growth plate injuries were compared with a control of 80 patients. A significant difference (<0.001) was observed in the cast index and the gap index of both th...
متن کاملEfficacy of closed reduction and maintenance of surgical outcome in plaster cast immobilization in different types of distal radius fractures.
BACKGROUND The aim of this paper is to evaluate the results maintaining after closed reduction of distal radius fracture and to assess difficulties in restoration of the articular surface continuity with reference to the type of fracture according to the AO classification. MATERIAL AND METHODS 65 patients were included in the study (40 female, 25 male), mean age of 59 years (19-84), diagnosed...
متن کاملHexcelite versus plaster of Paris: a controlled trial of the below-knee walking cast.
Hexcelite and plaster of Paris below-knee walking casts were compared in a controlled clinical trial, involving 82 patients. Fewer bandage complications, problems and better comfort was found with Hexcelite compared to plaster of Paris (P less than 0.05). If all costs relating to materials, transportation, complications and extra visits due to these, were taken into account, plaster of Paris wa...
