Nonbridging external fixation of intra-articular distal radius fractures.
نویسنده
چکیده
New solutions to difficult problems are always welcome, but nonbridging external fixation of intra-articular fractures is still in its infancy. Multicenter clinical trials are necessary to deter-mine whether the superior results obtained with nonbridging fixation of extra-articular fractures can be duplicated. With further study and new fixator designs, it is anticipated that nonbridging external fixation of intra-articular distal radius fractures will become another viable treatment option.

Fractures of the distal radius treated with cross-pin fixation and a nonbridging external fixator, the CPX system: a preliminary report.
PURPOSE To present the preliminary findings of distal radius fractures (DRF) treated with percutaneous cross-pin fixation and a nonbridging external fixator, the Cross-Pin Fixation (CPX) system. METHODS Thirty-five consecutive patients with 37 DRFs were selected from a series of 51 DRFs for closed reduction, percutaneous pinning, and external fixation with the CPX system. Outcome was determin...

BACKGROUND A retrospective group study was done to evaluate the effect of the small AO external fixator in the management of acute intra-articular fractures of the distal radius. METHODS Between January 1995 and December 1996, 70 consecutive patients with articular fractures of the distal radius were treated by closed reduction and external fixation with small AO external fixators. The mean a...
