Treatment of neglected mal:union: of the distal radius: a cases series study

چکیده مقاله:
Background: Mal:::union::: is the most common complication following distal radius fractures. Aim of this study was to evaluate the results of distal radius corrective osteotomy and plate fixation by dorsal approach in the mal:::union:::. Methods: In this retrospective study, 14 patients with neglected distal radius mal:::union::: from 2005 to 2011 were studied. All patients were treated with an opening wedge osteotomy with a dorsal plate and cancellous bone grafting. Radiological and clinical measurements were performed pre and postoperatively. All patients were followed at least for two years. Results: Fourteen patients with a mean age of 42.5±10.2 years including 2 females (14.2%) and 12 males (85.8%) were studied. Radiological healing was achieved in all osteotomies at a mean of 11.5 (range: 11 to 14) weeks. There were significant differences between wrist function and radiological findings before and after treatment. Following the operation, all patients were relieved of pain. There were not any complications. Conclusion: Based on our findings, dorsal approach for osteotomy and plate insertion is an effective approach with good final results and no major complication for the treatment of distal radius mal:::union:::.

متن کاملComputer-assisted Treatment of Distal Radius Malunion
Intra-articular malunions represent an exceptional technical challenge for the treating surgeon. Multidetector CT scans (MDCT) with three-dimensional (3D) surface rendered images are increasingly used not only for the evaluation of malunions, but also to develop a road map for surgery in patients who have been selected for corrective osteotomy.1,10,12 CTbased virtual pre-operative planning, inc...
متن کاملMinimally invasive osteotomy for distal radius malunion: A preliminary series of 9 cases.
UNLABELLED The rate of malunion after distal radius fractures is 25% after conservative treatment and 10% after surgery. Their main functional repercussion related to ulno-carpal conflict is loss of wrist motion. We report a retrospective clinical series of minimally invasive osteotomies. The series consisted of 9 cases of minimally invasive osteotomies with volar locking plate fixation. All os...
متن کاملMalunion of distal radius fractures in children
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Distal forearm fractures in children have excellent remodeling potential. The current literature states that 15° is the maximum acceptable angulation limit, though studies focusing on remodeling capacity above this value are lacking. We present data on the remodeling process in children with distal radius malunions with an angulation of ≥ 15°. PATIENTS AND METHODS Retro...
