Functional and Anatomical Outcome of Unstable Extra-Articular Distal Radius Fracture Managed with Plaster Immobilization and with External Fixation
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 8
Abstract
This is a prospective study aimed to analyse the functional and anatomical outcome of adult unstable extra articulat fracture distal radius treated with Plaster and External fixation. Of the 48 patients, 23 were treated with external fixation and the rest with plaster. The anatomical results were analysed using Lindstrom & Frykmann Grading and the functional outcomes with Gartland & Werly demerit scoring system. The study showed that External fixation gives better anatomical and functional results in unstable extra articular distal Radius fractures.
