Radius Styloid Process Fractures Treated with Break-Away Screws: Two Cases Report
نویسنده
چکیده
One cm longitudinal incision was made on the radius styloid process. Dissection of soft tissue was performed with taking care of extensor pollicis brevis, abductor pollicis longus and superficial branch of radial nerve. Guide wire was inserted from tip of the radius styloid process. After surgeon recognized no displacement in fluoroscopy, break-away screw (Acutwist®, Nihon Medical Next, Osaka, Japan) can be inserted as same direction as guide wire. The operative incision was covered with sterile bandage and fixation called for no immobilization after operation.

Efficacy of radial styloid targeting screws in volar plate fixation of intra-articular distal radial fractures: a biomechanical study in a cadaver fracture model
BACKGROUND The locking screws target the radial styloid, theoretically provide greater stability against radial styloid fragment. However, it is unknown whether the radial styloid locking screws increased the stability of the volar plating system fixation along the entire distal radius or not. In this study, we evaluated the stability of the volar plating system fixation with or without the rad...
متن کاملFracture of the ulnar styloid process negatively influences the outcome of paediatric fractures of the distal radius.
In paediatric patients with fractures of the distal radius, the consequences of associated ulnar styloid fractures are often underestimated. These may include persisting pain or functional deficits. The aim of the present study was to report the outcome of these fractures using a modified DASH-Score. All children with distal radius fractures treated in a two years period were analysed; only pat...
متن کاملRepositioning and stabilization of the radial styloid process in comminuted fractures of the distal radius using a single approach: the radio-volar double plating technique
BACKGROUND A possible difficulty in intra-articular fracture of the distal radius is the displacement tendency of the radial styloid process due to the tension of the brachioradialis tendon. METHODS Ten patients treated within one year for complex distal radius fractures by double-plating technique with a radial buttress plate and volar locking plate, through a single volar approach, were fol...
متن کاملIgnore fractures of the ulnar styloid in distal radius fractures
Introduction Fractures of the ulnar styloid frequently accompany fractures of the distal radius, however, there is no conclusive evidence whether it influences the final outcome of the treatment. The majority of studies show no negative effect of ulnar styloid fractures on final outcome, when the fracture of the distal radius is fixed, preferably by a locking plate [1,2]. Some authors, however,...
متن کاملFactors predicting late collapse of distal radius fractures.
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND Although fractures of the distal radius are a common clinical presentation, many factors affect instability of these injuries. The aim of this study was to assess the influence of age, sex, distal radial ulnar joint injury (DRUJ), ulnar styloid fracture, and dorsal displacement in late collapse of distal radius fractures. METHODS Three hundred twenty-nine patient fractu...
