    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Traumatology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Colles' fractures are common wrist fractures, and redisplacement after initial reduction can occur.
    • Accurate reduction of Colles' fractures is often correlated with favorable functional and cosmetic outcomes.
    • Clinical decisions regarding re-reduction for redisplaced Colles' fractures require careful consideration of potential benefits.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of renewed reduction for redislocated Colles' fractures.
    • To determine the optimal timing for performing re-reduction procedures.
    • To assess the likelihood of achieving lasting improvement after re-reduction.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of roentgenograms from 40 patients with rereduced Colles' fractures.
    • Categorization of fractures into early (1-6 days) and late (7-15 days) re-reduction groups.
    • Analysis of functional and cosmetic outcomes based on radiographic evidence.

    Main Results:

    • Approximately one-third of all cases showed permanent improvement following renewed reduction.
    • Early re-reduction (1-6 days) resulted in lasting improvement in only 2 out of 15 cases.
    • Late re-reduction (7-15 days) led to permanent improvement in 15 out of 30 cases, specifically regarding dorsal angulation and radial compression.

    Conclusions:

    • Renewed reduction can lead to lasting improvement in approximately one-third of redislocated Colles' fractures.
    • Late re-reduction, specifically during the second week after the primary reduction, appears more effective than early re-reduction.
    • The findings suggest that timing is a critical factor in achieving successful outcomes for redislocated Colles' fractures.
