Résumé
Volar locking plates for distal radius fracture (DRF) in the elderly may show complications in the most comminuted osteoporotic cases. The authors provide criteria for DRF in elderly that may not be amenable to volar plating ("irreparable DRF") and review the current results of a preliminary series of wrist hemiarthroplasty for these injuries. Between 2011 and 2019, 28 wrists with acute irreparable intra-articular DRF were treated with wrist hemiarthroplasty (96% female, mean age 79 years). A total of 17 wrists with a mean follow-up of 32 months were reviewed. At follow-up, mean visual analog scale (VAS) pain was 1/10, mean forearm rotation arc was 148°.
