Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Traumatology
  • Biomechanics

Background:

  • Colles' fractures are common wrist injuries.
  • Long-term functional deficits can occur after Colles' fractures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate long-term wrist function after Colles' fractures.
  • To identify factors correlating with poor functional outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Assessed wrist flexion and grip strength in patients 1-3 years post-injury.
  • Correlated functional deficits with radiographic parameters of mal-union.

Main Results:

  • Patients exhibited reduced wrist flexion and grip strength.
  • Decreased grip strength correlated with mal-union affecting radial inclination.

Conclusions:

  • Colles' fractures can lead to persistent wrist dysfunction.
  • Mal-union, specifically altered radial inclination, impacts grip strength recovery.
