Operative treatment of distal radius fractures.
The incidence of distal radius fractures is increasing together with the average age of population. Intra-articular incongruity is the most probable cause of unsatisfactory outcome of distal radius fractures in younger and more active patients. Thus, the main goal in the treatment of distal radius fractures should be restoration of articular congruence. A computed tomography (CT) is recommended...
متن کاملDisplaced fractures of the distal femur in elderly patients. Operative versus non-operative treatment.
We performed a prospective, randomised controlled trial of the operative versus non-operative treatment of 42 displaced fractures of the distal femur in elderly patients. Excellent or good results were achieved in 53% of the operated group and in 31% of the non-operated group. There were more complications in the latter, and the time to discharge was considerably longer.
متن کاملNon-operative treatment for distal ulna fractures associated with distal radius fractures
Distal ulna fractures often concomitantly occur with distal radius fractures, and their treatment method is still controversial. We hypothesized that osteosynthesis is not necessary for distal radius fracture-associated distal ulna fracture without DRUJ surface fracture. In this study, non-operative treatment was selected for fractures not extending to the distal end of the ulna of the DRUJ bas...
متن کاملDISPLACED- COMMINUTED INTRAARTICULAR FRACTURES OF THE ADULT DISTAL HUMERUS: FUNCTIONAL RESULTS AFTER INTERNAL FIXATION
Background: Intra-articular T- type or Y- type fractures of the distal end of the humerus are relatively rare, and consequently few surgeons will be able to attain extensive experience with the surgical treatment of these injuries. The current emphasis is on operative intervention with rigid internal fixation and early mobilization. Methods: In this prospective and retrospective study, we r...
متن کاملEconomic Analysis of the Cost of Implants Used for Treatment of Distal Radius Fractures
Background: There are a number of different implant choices for surgical treatment of distal radius fractures, oftendetermined by surgeon preference or availability. Although no one volar plate demonstrates superior outcomes, thereare significant cost differences absorbed by hospitals and surgical centers. This purpose of this study is to characterizethe economic implications of implant selecti...
