Distal Radius Fractures

2014
The treatment of fractures of the distal radius is in a state of flux, because the results of conservative treatment have so far been unsatisfactory in 20%-30% of cases. Instability resulting from dorsal compression, damaged ligaments (60%) and the presence of débris in the area of the metaphysis means that, while reduction is easy, retention is ...

Distal Radius Fractures

Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 2012
To discuss the evidence base behind treatment of pediatric distal radius fractures.We identified randomized controlled trials addressing the treatment of children with torus fractures, minimally displaced fractures, and displaced fractures of the distal radius.Torus fractures and minimally displaced fracture is treated by removable splints instead of ...

Plating for Distal Radius Fractures

Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 2007
No area of fracture management has had such a recent explosion of new treatment modalities as distal radius plating. This explosion has largely been implant- and industry-driven, with little evidence-based research guiding the way. A perceived difficulty with commonly used modalities by the orthopedic community has been enough to drive an entire new ...

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.

Complications of Distal Radius Fractures

Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 2007
Fractures occur at the distal end of the radius more frequently than at any other location. The reported complication rates of distal radius fractures in the literature vary from 6% to 80%. Complications may occur from the fracture or its treatment. This article reviews complications caused by distal radius fractures and their treatment.

Intraarticular Distal Radius Fracture

Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma, 2001
A twenty-eight-year-old mason fell from a ladder sustaining an intraarticular distal radius fracture to his dominant right wrist. He is neurologically intact and has moderate swelling.

ACUTE FRACTURES OF THE DISTAL RADIUS

Hand Clinics, 2000
Distal radius fractures commonly are sustained by athletes during competition. Typically, these are high energy injuries with severe displacement, metaphyseal comminution, and articular surface disruption. Each fracture is distinguished by its degree of articular displacement, stability, and reducibility.

Articular Fractures of the Distal Radius

Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 1984
Fractures of the distal radius are frequently biarticular injuries and comprise four basic components. Displacement of the key medial fragments and their strong ligamentous attachments (termed the medial complex) is the basis for a useful classification into four fracture types.

FIXATION FOR DISTAL RADIUS FRACTURES

Hand Clinics, 1997
Distal radius fractures are common fractures that can cause significant disability. As techniques and implants have improved, better results can be expected from internal and external fixation of complex wrist fractures. With meticulous technique, articular alignment can be secured and small articular fragments can be replaced in anatomic locations ...
