“The Patient Knows Best”- Evaluation Of Distal Radial Fracture Locking Plate Fixations Using The Patient Rated Wrist Evaluation.
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 3
Abstract
Fractures of distal end radius account for one sixth of all fractures that are seen and treated by orthopaedic surgeons.Although most of them were managed conservatively in the past,recently they have become the focus of an intense resurgence in interest regarding optimal management. We analysed the results of 26 patients with distal radial fractures fixed with locked volar plating using the PRWE score at the time of final follow-up (minimum six months) for this study.Routine standard preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative protocols were followed.14 male and 12 female patients with the average age of 46 (range 20-72) were operated and followed up for a period of six to twelve months. In our study 18 of cases were of type C of AO classification and 4 cases were of B2 and 4 cases were of B3 type. The mean time to union was eight weeks (range 6-12 weeks). In our series out of 26 patients, function was excellent in 15, good in 6, fair in 4 and poor in 1 patient.Open reduction and internal fixation of distal radius fractures with plating provide good functional results for the patients with satisfying and predictable outcomes, both for the patient as well as the Surgeon.
