Unstable distal radial fractures treated with external fixation, a radial column plate, or a volar plate. A prospective randomized trial.
BACKGROUND Optimal surgical management of unstable distal radial fractures is controversial, and evidence from rigorous comparative trials is rare. We compared the functional outcomes of treatment of unstable distal radial fractures with external fixation, a volar plate, or a radial column plate. METHODS Forty-six patients with an injury to a single limb were randomized to be treated with aug...
متن کاملComparison of volar locking plate and external fixation with K wire augmentation in unstable distal radius fractures
Distal radius fractures are one of the most common injuries and this incidence is likely to increase as the aging population increases. The type of operation and implant is a matter of discussion and randomized trials and meta analyses have failed to recommend the preferred implant. Internal fixation with volar locking plate and external fixation with supplementation with K wire have been succe...
متن کاملComparative Analysis of the Complication Profile following Palmar Plating versus External Fixation
Background: Much attention has been given recently to the complication profile of volar plate fixation of distal radial fractures. The purpose of this investigation was to compare complication rates among patients with distal radial fractures treated with volar plating versus those treated with external fixation. Methods: Two parallel series of patients with comminuted intra-articular distal ra...
متن کاملEvaluation of a novel, nonspanning external fixator for treatment of unstable extra-articular fractures of the distal radius: biomechanical comparison with a volar locking plate.
PURPOSE To compare the stability of a novel, nonspanning external fixator with a standard volar locked plate for treatment of unstable distal radius fractures. METHODS A simulated, unstable, extra- articular distal radius fracture was created in six matched pairs of fresh frozen human distal radii. One of each pair was treated with a nonspanning external fixator [Mirza Cross Pin Fixator (CPX)...
متن کاملFunctional outcome in patients with unstable distal radius fractures, volar locking plate versus external fixation: a meta-analysis
The aim of this study was to compare bridging external fixation with volar locked plating in patients with unstable distal radial fractures regarding functional outcome. A systematic search was performed in the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Medline and EMBASE. All randomized controlled trials that compared bridging external fixation directly with volar locked plating in patien...
