Comparison of surgical and conservative management of extra articular distal radius fractures
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Orthopedics - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Fractures of the distal radius still create doubt in the minds of young orthopaedic surgeons. There has been a recent change of trend to prefer surgical management for most of the fractures. However this is one fracture that fails to follow that trend. Material and Methods: We at our institute have conducted a prospective study to compare the outcome of surgical and conservative management of AO 23 A type distal radius fractures spanning over a period of three years. Results: A total of 342 patients admitted in our institute between Jan ’14 to June ’17 have been evaluated and the outcome assessed at the end of nine months, two and three years. Conclusion: Evaluation of results reveals no significant difference in the outcome of surgical and conservative management at the end of three years, thought initial results show superiority of surgery over conservative management. Key Words: Colle’s fracture, Ellis plate, Open reduction.
