Establish a new classification system of distal radius fracture based on computed tomographic (CT), and evaluate its reliability and reproducibility preliminarily, and provide a new theoretical refere...
This study assessed the feasibility of open surgery and determined outcome predictors for late management of epiphyseal plate fracture of the distal radius in children....
This retrospective study included 25 patients (22 male, 3 female) who underwent open surgery for late management of epiphyseal plate fracture of the distal radius. Wrist function was evaluated on Coon...
Overall, wrist function after surgery was classified as excellent for 16 patients (64%), good for 6 (24%), and fair for 3 (12%). The rate of excellent wrist function was 86.7% (13/15) in children olde...
Open reduction surgery for late management of distal radius epiphyseal fracture yielded good results in patients aged over 10 years....

No investigation has analyzed the time from injury to operative intervention and its effect on complications and functional outcomes in distal radius fractures. This investigation aimed to establish w...
A retrospective review of all orthopedic trauma patients who came to our center was conducted from 2008 through 2014. Patients who sustained closed distal radius fractures were included. A postoperati...
In all, 190 patients were included in the study with a mean age of 48 years (SD ±14.7). According to the AO-Müller/Orthopaedic Trauma Association classification, radiographs revealed 80 A fractures, 1...
Despite the increased popularity of surgical intervention for distal radius fractures, the optimal parameters to maximize patient outcomes have yet to be clearly defined. Time to intervention did not ...
An unstable distal radius fracture is one that is not capable of resisting displacement after initial closed reduction. The challenge in managing distal radius fractures is identifying which fractures...
This retrospective study included an alternative treatment for types A2, A3, and B1 distal radius fractures using percutaneous fixation with a cemented K-wire frame....
From January 2017 to January 2020, 78 patients with distal radius fractures were treated with percutaneous internal fixation using a cemented K-wire frame. There were 47 male patients and 31 female pa...
Neither fixation failure nor K-wire migration was found (P > 0.05). Osteomyelitis was not observed in this series. All patients achieved bone healing after a mean of 4.5 weeks (range, 4 to 8 weeks). F...
Percutaneous fixation with cemented K-wire frame is a safe and preferred choice for the treatment of types A2, A3, and B1 distal radius fractures. The frame provides support to prevent wire migration....
Therapeutic study, Level IVa....
Distal radius fracture (DRF) is one of the most common fractures and, frequently, surgical treatment is mandatory in the presence of an intra-articular fracture. However, there are some unusual intra-...
We reviewed radiological and tomographic records of all adult patients operated on distal radius fractures at our institution. We analyzed tomographic characteristics; prevalence of osteochondral lami...
Two main groups according to the fracture pattern were described: group I, volar rim impacted OCLF (vOCLF); and group II, central impacted OCLF (cOCLF). Prevalence of OCLF relative to surgical intra-a...
Global prevalence of these fragments relative to surgical intra-articular fractures was very low. However, despite being epidemiologically rare, it is important to identify these specific fracture pat...
IV (Observational/Descriptive); Cross sectional study....
The incidence of distal radius fractures (DRFs) is reported, with conflicting results. To ensure evidence-based practice, the variation in treatment over time should be monitored. Treatment in the eld...
This is a population-based register study comprising all adult patients (i.e. aged over 18 years) with DRFs in the Danish National Patient Register from 1997 to 2018. Data were extracted using the ICD...
A total of 276,145 fractures were included, with an overall increase in DRFs of 31% during the study period. The overall incidence was 228/100,000/year, which increased by 20% during the study period....
We found a 31% increase in DRFs over a 22-year period, mostly driven by an increase in the size of the elderly population. The surgical rate increased markedly even in the elderly group. There is a la...
One factor influencing the management of distal radius fractures is the functional status of the patient. The purpose of this study was to assess the agreement between patient and surgeon assessments ...
Ninety-seven patients were included, with a mean age of 58.5 years (range, 18-92 years). Patients completed the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, a validated survey that provides a score ...
Interrater agreement between surgeons and patients demonstrated only "fair" agreement, with a kappa-statistic of 0.33. Predictive models showed that surgeons accurately identified 73% of "high activit...
Surgeon assessment of patient activity level does not have strong agreement with patients' independent assessment. Surgeons are most accurate at identifying "high activity level" patients but lack the...
Recognition of surgeon assessment of patient activity level as flawed can stimulate improved dialog between patients and physicians, ultimately improving the shared decision-making process....
BACKGROUND The treatment of distal radius diaphyseal metaphyseal junction (DMJ) fracture in children is a clinical problem; several treatments are available, but none are very effective. Therefore, th...
Clinical outcome after surgery depends on the surgeon's level of expertise or performance. The present study of minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) with anterior plate for distal radius fra...
The series included 30 distal radius fractures: 15 operated on by 4 level III surgeons (Group 1) and 15 by 4 level V surgeons (Group 2), utilizing the MIPO technique. The surgical performance of all 8...
Median MMS was better for level V (75 = fair result) than level III surgeons (62 = poor result). Median QDASH score likewise was better in group 2 (9.1) than group 1 (22.7). In group 1, there were 2 p...
Quality of the clinical outcome on MMS and QDASH increased with surgical performance, with fewer complications. In the patients' interest, protocols for improving surgical performance should be implem...
