Fractures: Bone Repair

Fractures: Bone Repair

Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
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...

Area of Science:

Orthopedic Surgery
Traumatology

Background:

Complex distal radius fractures often involve the volar-ulnar articular surface and radial styloid.
Stable fixation of the volar-ulnar corner is crucial to prevent carpal displacement.
The traditional Henry approach may risk median nerve injury due to retraction tension.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce a single incision, dual window approach for complex distal radius fractures.
To enhance surgical exposure and protect the median nerve during fixation.
To address bi-columnar distal radius fractures involving the volar-ulnar aspect.

Main Methods:

A combined trans-Flexor Carpi Radialis (FCR) and subcutaneous ulnar dissection approach.
Utilizing the interval between the ulnar neurovascular bundle and carpal tunnel contents.
Employing a dual window technique for direct visualization and fixation of fracture fragments.

Main Results:

The dual window approach provides direct visualization and fixation of complex fracture fragments.
This technique was successfully used for distal radius fractures with ulnar comminution.
Improved fragment access and direct reduction were achieved.

Conclusions:

The single incision, dual window approach is effective for complex bi-columnar distal radius fractures.
This technique offers a viable alternative to traditional approaches, enhancing safety and efficacy.
Direct fixation of volar-ulnar fragments is facilitated, ensuring stable wrist alignment.
