Study of outcome after fracture reduction and internal fixation with volar locking plates in distal end radius fractures
Keywords:
Distal end radius fractures, Open reduction & internal fixation, Volar locking plates
Abstract
Background: The distal end radius fractures are common in older age group patients with osteoporosis. There are many treatment modalities both operative and non-operative methods. In osteoporotic patients the volar locking plate fixation may be the best option after open reduction. Our study aim is to assess the functional outcome in a retrospective study.
Methods:30 patients in age group of 50-70, with mean age of 60 years, with distal end radius fractures were selected and fixed with volar locking plates after open reduction by anterior incision. These patients were followed retrospectively for period of 12 months mean(24 months follow up).The modified MAYO score and DASH (disabilities of the Arm Shoulder and Hand) scores were used to assess the outcome -functional and fracture union.
Results: About 80% got good to excellent, 15% satisfactory, and 5% poor results according to the mayo and dash scores.
Conclusion: The volar locking plate fixation after open reduction yield good to excellent results, among the treatment options available for distal end radius fractures.
