Ulnar Shortening Osteotomy After Distal Radius Fracture Malunion: Review of Literature
Malunion of distal radius fracture is often complicated with shortening of the radius with disturbed radio- ulnar variance, frequently associated with lesions of triangular fibrocartilage complex and instability of the distal radioulnar joint. Positive ulnar variance may result in wrist pain located in ulnar part of the joint, limited ulnar deviation and forearm rotation with development of deg...
متن کاملResults of ulnar shortening osteotomy for ulnocarpal abutment after malunited distal radius fracture.
Surgical correction for ulnocarpal abutment syndrome after malunited distal radius fracture remains controversial. We reviewed sixteen patients (7 men, 9 women) who underwent isolated ulnar-shortening osteotomy for ulnar wrist pain as their main complaint. Mean age was 48 years. The range of flexion-extension increased from 81 degrees to 103 degrees, and range of supination-pronation from 120 d...
متن کاملStep-cut distal ulnar-shortening osteotomy.
PURPOSE Several techniques for ulnar-shortening osteotomies have been described in recent years, reflecting the difficulties that sometimes are encountered in what seems to be a relatively simple procedure. We describe the use of a simple step-cut ulnar-shortening osteotomy stabilized with a lag screw and a palmarly placed 3.5-mm neutralization plate. METHODS Twenty-nine patients had the surg...
متن کاملTri-plane Osteotomy Correction of Distal Radius Malunion Addresses Shortening, Angular, and Rotational Deformity
INTRODUCTION: Rotational malalignment following fracture of the distal radius may be under appreciated and contribute to subluxation and dysfunction of the distal radioulnar joint. Rotational malunion is demonstrated by both plain radiographic and CT imaging. METHODS: Eleven patients with shortened, angular and rotational malunion underwent correction by performance of triplane osteotomy. Addit...
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...
