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
Trauma Management
Skeletal Reconstruction

Background:

Distal radius fractures are common, with bimodal age distribution.
Effective management is crucial to prevent malunion and chronic pain.
Intra-articular distal radius fractures require specific surgical considerations.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate clinical and functional outcomes of a modified surgical technique for intra-articular distal radius fractures.
Assess the efficacy of a 2.7-mm locking volar plate and K-wires for three-column fixation.
Determine the safety and effectiveness of a single volar approach.

Main Methods:

Prospective interventional study of 35 patients with AO Types B and C intra-articular distal radius fractures.
Treatment involved volar plating with optional K-wire fixation via a single volar approach.
Outcomes assessed using QuickDASH scores, range of motion, and radiographic evaluations.

Main Results:

Significant improvement in QuickDASH scores from 67.8 to 8.07 at six months (p < 0.00001).
Marked improvement in wrist range of motion across all parameters.
Stable radiographic findings with minimal complications (3 wrist stiffness, 1 infection).

Conclusions:

The modified technique provides efficient stabilization for intra-articular distal radius fractures.
Significant functional recovery and consistent radiographic outcomes were observed.
This approach supports effective management of complex distal radius fractures.
