Management of Malunions of the Distal Radius

Hand Clinics, 2012
Despite encouraging results from small case series, correction of distal radius malunion remains a challenging procedure with uncertain outcomes. The most appropriate treatment for a distal radius malunion is prevention. If a symptomatic malunion is discovered, correction should be undertaken as early as possible. It is recommended that action be taken

Fractures of the Distal Radius and Ulna

Journal of Hand Surgery, 1995
Associated fractures of the distal ulnar metaphysis were present in 19 of 320 distal radial fractures requiring either closed manipulation or surgical treatment over a 2-year period. Four morphological patterns of ulnar fracture were encountered, the commonest being the type 1 simple extra-articular fracture of the distal end of ulna with minimal ...

Distal Radius Fractures in the Elderly

The Journal of Hand Surgery, 2015
THE PATIENT A 72-year-old, active, healthy woman fell onto her outstretched dominant right hand. The wrist was swollen and painful to move. Radiographs demonstrated a displaced intra-articular fracture of the distal radius. After hematoma block, manipulative reduction, and orthotic immobilization, radiographs demonstrate a residual radiocarpal ...

Distal Radius Instability and Stiffness: Common Complications of Distal Radius Fractures

Hand Clinics, 2010
Emphasis in the literature over the past hundred years regarding distal radius fracture management has been on restoration of anatomic radio-carpal alignment. Until the two most recent decades, little emphasis has been placed on the great morbidity and compromise to upper limb function associated with distal radio-ulna joint (DRUJ) pathology occurring ...

Distal Radius Fractures in the Elderly

Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2017
Distal radius fractures are common in elderly patients, and the incidence continues to increase as the population ages. The goal of treatment is to provide a painless extremity with good function. In surgical decision making, special attention should be given to the patient’s bone quality and functional activity level.

Epidemiology of distal radius fractures

Acta Orthopaedica Scandinavica, 1985
In the county of Frederiksborg, Denmark, all distal radius fractures in inhabitants over 20 years of age were recorded throughout 1981; the population at risk was a quarter million, and fractures occurred in 394 women and 99 men. The age-specific incidence confirmed the rise in osteoporotic fractures over the past 20 years demonstrated recently in ...

Triplane fracture of the distal radius

Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics B, 2006
A case of triplane fracture of the distal radius is reported in a 13-year-old boy. This exceptional fracture showed displacement, and was healed by closed reduction and 6 weeks of external immobilization. Eighteen months later, the patient showed complete physeal arrest of the distal radius, with radio-ulnar length discrepancy but without any ...

Comminuted Distal Radius Fractures

Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 1992
Comminuted displaced fractures of the distal end of the radius pose a significant treatment challenge. The goal of treatment is to restore functional, painless motion of the wrist and fingers. Although satisfactory results correlate to a large extent with obtaining and maintaining normal anatomy, excessive distraction and a flexed wrist position with ...

Distal Radius Fractures in Adults

Orthopedics, 2002
Although distal radius fractures are a common injury in the elderly and young adult population, the classification, treatment options, and assessment of outcomes of these fractures remain controversial. Since there is no uniform fracture classification system, it is difficult to compare studies.
