Résumé

Currently, there is no consensus on the treatment of distal radius fractures in the super-elderly population. The aim of this study was to evaluate the perioperative morbidities and the need for rehabilitation care after a distal radius fracture treated with locking plates among patients aged 85 years or older. A retrospective study was conducted in all patients aged 85 years or older who underwent open surgical treatment using a locking plate for an isolated distal radius fracture from January 2013 to December 2018 at a level 1 trauma center. The occurrence of minor complications (tendinopathy, neuropathy, carpal tunnel syndrome, and infection), major complications (complex regional pain syndrome, nonunion, loss of reduction, intra-articular screw, and hardware failure), and the need for revision surgery were recorded. The need and timing of rehabilitation were also documented. A nested case-control study was performed to evaluate predictive factors associated with the need for inpatient rehabilitation. The majority of fractures were AO type A, numbering 88 (55.7%), followed by 64 type C (40.5%), and then 6 type B (3.8%). The overall complication rate among the 158 included patients was 17% (n = 26), with 12 (7.6%) having minor complications and 14 (8.9%) having major complications. Inpatient rehabilitation was required for one-third of the patients (n = 59), and 11 (7%) were definitively discharged to a nursing home. The place of residence before the fracture, American Society of Anesthesiologist score, and the type of anesthesia were associated with a need for inpatient rehabilitation. Overall, this study suggests that perioperative morbidity of distal radius fractures treated using a locking plate is acceptable even in the super-elderly population. Nevertheless, given the frequent requirement for rehabilitation, the impact of age cannot be ignored. Therapeutic IV.
