Distal Radius Malunion [PDF]

Journal of Hand Surgery, 2020
Malunion remains the most common complication of nonsurgical treatment of fractures of the distal radius and represents a common clinical entity. Symptomatic treatment often involves corrective osteotomy. Surgical correction is a challenging problem with unpredictable clinical outcomes.

Forearm rotation improves after corrective osteotomy in patients with symptomatic distal radius malunion [PDF]

Heliyon
Objectives: Distal radius malunion can result in pain and functional complaints. One of the functional problems that can affect daily life is impaired forearm rotation.

It is safe to use the ulnar length difference to correct the radial length difference in the 3D-planning process of a radius osteotomy in patients with a distal radius malunion [PDF]

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research
Background A corrective radius osteotomy is often performed in patients with a symptomatic distal radius malunion. In 3D-planned osteotomies, the unaffected radius is mirrored over the malunited radius after adjusting for left-right length differences ...

Distal radius malunion in adults

Orthopaedics and Traumatology: Surgery and Research, 2021
Distal radius malunion (DRMU) consists in a non-anatomical consolidation of a distal radius fracture. The resulting alteration of the articular or extra-articular radial anatomy impairs wrist function to a greater or lesser degree: Restricted ranges of motion, loss of strength, pain. There may also be nerve or tendon involvement.

Ulnar shortening osteotomy for distal radius malunion. [PDF]

J Wrist Surg, 2014
Background Malunion is a common complication of distal radius fractures. Ulnar shortening osteotomy (USO) may be an effective treatment for distal radius malunion when appropriate indications are observed. Methods The use of USO for treatment of distal radius fracture malunion is described for older patients (typically patients >50 years) with dorsal ...

Correction of nascent malunion of distal radius fractures

Acta Orthopaedica et Traumatologica Turcica, 2020
Objective: Early correction of malunion of distal radius fractures may be necessary in young, active patients. The aim of this study was to report the advantages and disadvantages of early correction of distal radius malunion.\r\nMethods: Eleven patients

Distal radius malunion and forearm rotation: a cadaveric study. [PDF]

J Wrist Surg, 2014
Background Malunions following distal radius fractures are common, with shortening, translation, and rotation occurring. The patients frequently lose forearm rotation, but there is no data to indicate whether this is due to mechanical misalignment between the radius and the ulna or to contracture of the soft tissues.
