Open treatment for displaced articular fractures of the distal radius
Abstract:
Fifteen patients with severely displaced Type 4 articular fractures of the distal radius required open treatment for the reduction and fixation of disrupted articular surfaces and for the repair of associated nerve, tendon, or arterial injuries. These patients were predominantly young men whose wrists had been exposed to violent compression forces. Five cases were rated excellent, nine good, and one fair according to the McBride and Lidström systems of evaluation. In this study, distal radial fractures with wide displacement or rotation of the articular surfaces were treated by prompt and precise repair of skeletal and soft tissue damage.

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...
