Dry arthroscopy of the wrist: its role in the management of articular distal radius fractures.
Most arthroscopies in the body are carried out infusing water to create an optical working cavity. Under those conditions we found the management of distal radius fractures quite cumbersome, not to say that compartment syndrome risk did exist ( ). Furthermore, when we used to use water to distend the joint, performing semi-open operations such as osteotomies, or distal radio-ulnar joint reconst...
متن کاملArticular fractures of the distal radius.
Fractures of the distal radius are frequently biarticular injuries and comprise four basic components. Displacement of the key medial fragments and their strong ligamentous attachments (termed the medial complex) is the basis for a useful classification into four fracture types. Optimal management requires precise correlation of articular disruption and prompt recognition and repair of any conc...
متن کاملIntra-articular Fractures of the Distal Radius
Intra-articular fractures of the distal radius are more challenging to treat than extra-articular fractures. Optimal treatment is achieved when the pattern of injury is recognized and its component parts are adequately addressed. The importance of the final articular surface alignment has received substantial emphasis, but extra-articular alignment, the overall complexity of the injury, associa...
متن کاملManagement of distal radius fractures.
T he discovery of the x-ray was 80 years away when Irish surgeon Abraham Colles published his paper about fractures of the "distal extremity of the radius." He had no idea about the possible intra-articular component of this fracture, but he knew that the fracture was unstable and frequently settled back to the deformity that "will remain undiminished through life."l The management of this very...
متن کاملAnatomical reduction of intra-articular fractures of the distal radius.
We treated 31 intra-articular fractures of the distal radius by arthroscopically-assisted reduction and percutaneous fixation with Kirschner (K-) wires. Tears of the triangular fibrocartilage (58 %), scapholunate (85 %) and lunotriquetral (61%) instability and osteochondral lesions (19%) were also treated. A total of 26 patients was independently reviewed at an average of 19 months. The mean pa...
