Osteosynthesis of fractures of the upper end of the radius
1Ia Clinica Ortopedica dell'Università, Padova.
Abstract:
Osteosynthesis of fractures of the head of the radius is regarded with disfavour by many ortophaedic surgeons, who prefer excision of the fractured head. However, osteosynthesis is capable of producing excellent results, as long as the correct indications are observed and it is carried out with minimal trauma, and by simple, small methods of synthesis. The authors report 13 cases treated by this method.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
