extra articular radius fracture

Background: Treatment of distal radius fractures in patients of a younger than osteoporotic age is complex, because they often are the result of a high-energy trauma and have intra-articular fractures ... Nature: External fixation is more suitable for intra-articular fractures of the distal radius in elderly patients Intra-articular fractures of the distal radius (IFDR) represent high energy, complex, unstable injuries, and account for approximately one-sixth of the fractures observed in emergency rooms. 1,2 The ...

External fixation is more suitable for intra-articular fractures of the distal radius in elderly patients Healio: Subchondral placement of distal radius locking plate has insignificant impact on articular contact pressures Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Articular contact pressures do not appear to be significantly changed through the use of distal radius locking ... Subchondral placement of distal radius locking plate has insignificant impact on articular contact pressures The duration of immobilization of distal radius fractures depends on whether these fractures can displace into an unacceptable position. Most radial fractures are liable to displace within the first ...
