Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 7
Abstract
ABSTRACT Distal radius fractures are the most common long bone fracture. These were randomly treated by different methods. This retrospective study was conducted in the department of orthopaedic surgery in Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Hospital,Warangal, Telangana state, India. Over a period of 4 years data of all the patients with fracture of distal end radius who were admitted were recorded from case files, casuality admission register and operative records. A total of 412 patients were included in our study and mode of treatment was compared among the various available treatment modality such as cast/slab; percutation fixation with k-wire, external fixation & plate osteosynthesis. Out of the total number of cases (n=412) for fracture distal end radius, nearly 12% case were managed with cast , 22% with percutaneous fixation with k-wire , 24% with external fixature, 19% with both external fixator and k-wire and 23% with plate osteosynthesis. This study concludes that incidence of distal end radius fracture plating had increased over a span of time and plating was increased over a period of time as compared to cast, percutaneous k -wire fixation and external fixator.
