Distal Radius Fracture Outcomes and Rehabilitation
Distal radius fractures account for nearly 1 of every 5 fractures in individuals aged 65 or older. Moreover, increased susceptibility to vertebral and hip fractures has been documented in patients a year after suffering a distal radius fracture. Although women are more susceptible to hip fractures, men experience a higher mortality rate in the 7 years following a distal radius fracture. Traditi...
متن کاملComparison of Outcomes and Complications of 1- and 4- week Cast Immobilization after Distal Radius Surgery
Background & Aims: Metaphysical distal radius fractures are common fractures account for almost half of the fractures in Orthopaedic Emergencies. According to different studies, 1-6 weeks cast immobilization after distal radius surgery has been recommended. The aim of this study was to compare outcomes and complications of short-term and long-term immobilization treatment methods. Methods: In a...
متن کاملEconomic Analysis of Bisphosphonate Use after Distal Radius Fracture for Prevention of Hip Fracture
Background: Osteoporosis is a common condition among the elderly population, and is associated with an increased risk of fracture. One of the most common fragility fractures involve the distal radius, and are associated with risk of subsequent fragility fracture. Early treatment with bisphosphonates has been suggested to decrease the population hip fracture burden. However, there have been no p...
متن کاملFocus On Distal radius fracture: current concepts and management
Up until a few decades ago, distal radius fractures were often casually regarded as ‘Colles’ fractures’. The treatment was mainly manipulation and casting, since the generally accepted concept proposed by Abraham Colles in 18141, was that although these fractures would heal with deformity, the functional deficit would be acceptable. With better understanding of the various fracture types, class...
متن کاملDistal radius nonunion after volar locking plate fixation of a distal radius fracture: a case report
We describe a 59-year-old man who had nonunion of a right distal radius fracture after volar locking plate fixation. He underwent open reduction and internal fixation with a volar locking plate system for a dorsally displaced, unstable distal radius fracture at a previous hospital 5 months ago. Radiographs of the injured wrist showed nonunion of the distal radius with 1.5-mm ulnar minus varianc...
