چکیده
ont matter & 2006 006.02.008 thor. [email protected] Summary The distal radius is the commonest site of fracture in the human skeleton and its treatment continues to evolve with advancing technology. Recently, there have been further refinements in the design of fixed-angle devices, pegs, locking plates and screws as well as arthroscopic instruments to assist management. In this article, we shall discuss the use of fixed-angle fixation devices, internal distraction plating, arthroscopically assisted reduction, fragment-specific fixation and the use of bone graft substitutes in the treatment of distal radius fractures. & 2006 Elsevier Ltd.

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...

متن کاملPercutaneous pinning versus pin-in-plaster for treatment of distal radius fractures
Background: Distal radius fractures constitute 17% of all fractures and 75% of forearm fractures in adults. Due to the vital role of the hands in a wide range of daily tasks, quick recovery and fewer complications for the patients are important. The purpose of this study was to compare the two common treatments of distal radius fractures namely, percutaneous pinning and pin-in-plaster. Methods...
