INTRODUCTION Generally, anatomical reduction of shaft fractures through operative treatment is necessary to restore the anatomical relationship of the forearm bones. However, a number of nerves and vessels are located in the proximal radius, which complicates surgery. In this study, we aimed to reduce postoperative complications by using a posterior approach. PRESENTATION OF CASE We describe ...

UNLABELLED The aim of this prospective study was to test a mathematical method of measuring the malrotation of pediatric distal radius fractures (PDRFs) from direct radiographs. A total of 70 pediatric patients who presented at the Emergency Department with a distal radius fracture were evaluated. For 38 selected patients conservative treatment for PDRF was planned. Anteroposterior and lateral ...

OBJECTIVE Fracture of the proximal half of the radius shaft can be exposed by either one of volar or dorsal approaches. The aim of this study was to compare the results of volar and dorsal approach for surgical treatment of proximal half fracture of the radius. METHODOLOGY This prospective study was performed from April 2008 to March 2012 in two teaching hospitals. Seventy adults patients wit...

background scapula fractures occur in approximately 1% of all fractures and constitute about 3% - 5% of all injuries of the shoulder joint. objectives this study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of 20 surgically treated patients with displaced glenoid fractures after stabilization with distal radius plate. methods between 2012 and 2015, at 2 centers (hmch & shce) of bhubaneswar odisha, w...

BACKGROUND Soft tissue injuries associated with distal radius fractures have been reported by some authors. Arthroscopy can be used to evaluate the condition of the articular surface and intracarpal soft tissues and as an aid to treatment. There are three intracarpal soft tissues of particular importance: the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC), the scapholunate interosseous ligament (SLIL...

BACKGROUND The authors conducted a meta-analysis to compare the effectiveness and safety of conservative and operative treatment for distal radius fracture. METHODS PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library were searched to identify the relevant studies published up to February of 2015. All randomized controlled trials published to compare the conservative and operative treatment were included...

We treated a patient with a rare combination of ipsilateral fractures of the distal and proximal ends of the radius. A man aged 42 years had simultaneous fractures of the distal and proximal ends of the radius (radial neck) following a roadside accident. The distal end fracture of the radius was treated with surgical reduction and T-plate volar fixation, and the undisplaced radial neck fracture...
