Essential radiographic evaluation for distal radius fractures.
Fractures of the distal radius can be complex injuries, often generating multiple fragments with distortion of the normal anatomy in all three dimensions. Superficial assessment of the injury on the standard PA and lateral radiographs often can result in incomplete recognition of the injury pattern and a misdirected approach to treatment. In addition, failure to recognize subtle radiographic fi...
متن کاملReliability of radiographic measurements for acute distal radius fractures
BACKGROUND The management of distal radial fractures is guided by the interpretation of radiographic findings. The aim of this investigation was to determine the intra- and inter-observer reliability of eight traditionally reported anatomic radiographic parameters in adults with an acute distal radius fracture. METHODS Five observers participated. All were routinely involved in making treatme...
متن کاملPercutaneous pinning versus pin-in-plaster for treatment of distal radius fractures
Background: Distal radius fractures constitute 17% of all fractures and 75% of forearm fractures in adults. Due to the vital role of the hands in a wide range of daily tasks, quick recovery and fewer complications for the patients are important. The purpose of this study was to compare the two common treatments of distal radius fractures namely, percutaneous pinning and pin-in-plaster. Methods...
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...
متن کاملDistal radius fractures.
Distal radius fractures are a common injury, particularly in the elderly population. Severity of these fractures is directly related to the bone mineral density of the patient, and clinical results are dependent on this parameter as well. In terms of treatment, several options exist. Nonoperative management consists of closed treatment with casting. Operative treatment options include intrafoca...
