Malunion of the Distal End of the Radius

1996
Union with deformity continues to be the most common complication following fracture of the distal end of the radius.7,31,32 Malunion may be extraarticular, characterized by metaphyseal angulation and loss of radial length; intraarticular, involving distortion of the either the radiocarpal or the radioulnar joints or both; or a combination of the two.

Distal Radius Malunion

2014
Malunion is the most common complication following distal radius fractures and can cause considerable disability [1]. The malunion can affect the metaphysis (extra-articular malunion), the joint itself (intra-articular malunion) or both. Any of them may cause pain, restricted range of motion and arthrosis.

Mini-invasive Osteotomy for Pediatric Distal Radius Malunion

Techniques in Hand & Upper Extremity Surgery, 2021
Although most malunions after pediatric distal radius fractures will remodel as the child grows, adolescent patients with severe malunion and limited growth require reduction to restore alignment. The authors technique for a mini-invasive osteotomy is presented. The apex of the malunion is approached from a single 2 cm volar incision through the flexor

Managing the Extra-Articular Distal Radius Malunion

Hand Clinics
Distal radius fractures are common injuries. Satisfactory outcomes are typically achieved with appropriate nonoperative or operative treatment. A proportion of these injuries develop symptomatic malunions, which may be treated surgically with distal radius corrective osteotomy.

[Distal radius malunions in flexion].

Chirurgie de la main, 2006
In this paper we will differentiate the clinical management of distal radial fractures with malunion in extension from those with malunion in flexion. Malunions in flexion are rare and radial shortening does not contribute significantly to the deformity. There is always a decrease in the range of motion, especially prono-supination.

Managing the Intra-articular Distal Radius Malunion

Hand Clinics
Intra-articular malunion of the distal radius represents a difficult clinical problem. While not all patients require treatment, corrective osteotomy may significantly improve motion, grip strength, and patient-reported outcome measures. Meticulous planning and technical precision are required with the possible need for multiple surgical approaches and

Management of Post-Traumatic Malunion of Fractures of the Distal Radius

Hand Clinics, 2007
Distal radius malunions are a common cause of patient morbidity. This review of the literature surrounding distal radius malunion covers the demographics, pathologic anatomy, and indications for surgery, surgical techniques, and salvage options. Particular emphasis is placed on subject areas that have not been reviewed as extensively in previous ...

Dome-Shaped Osteotomy for Distal Radius Fracture Malunions

Techniques in Hand and Upper Extremity Surgery, 2003
After having hinted to the various component of the malformity caused by malunions of the distal radius fracture, the various possibilities of correcting this deformity are described. The difficulty to correct all the components of the deformity are considered.

The minimally invasive approach for distal radius fractures and malunions

Journal of Hand Surgery (European Volume), 2017
This article reviews the author’s currently used minimal invasive approach for volar plating of distal radius fractures. A single longitudinal incision of 1.5 cm is drawn on the lateral aspect of the flexor carpi radialis tendon in order to insert a plate under the pronator quadratus.
