The purpose of this study was to evaluate the results and complications of locked palmar plating in patients with articular fracture of the distal radius.
Twenty-two patients were reviewed retrospectively. The average age was 68 years. All fractures were classified as Type C according to the AO classification. Clinical and functional examination including range of motion, grip strength, pain and return to previous activities were assessed. Loss of radial height, radial inclination, palmar tilt and ulnar variance were evaluated with preoperative and postoperative radiographs.
At an average follow-up of 10 months, the range of motion was 124 degrees in flexion and extension and 178 degrees in pronation and supination. Grip strength was 80% of the opposite side. Fifteen patients were free of pain. Three patients suffered tenosynovitis of the extensor tendons. Radiographic measurements averaged 11 mm radial height, 21 degrees radial inclination, 4 degrees palmar tilt and 1 mm ulnar variance.
The result of this study showed that locked palmar plating of articular distal radius fractures is effective even in cases of metaphyseal comminution with a low rate of complications.
本研究旨在评估锁定掌侧钢板治疗桡骨远端关节内骨折患者的疗效及并发症。
对22例患者进行回顾性分析。平均年龄68岁。所有骨折均根据AO分类为C型。评估临床及功能情况,包括活动范围、握力、疼痛及恢复至伤前活动情况。通过术前及术后X线片评估桡骨高度丢失、桡骨倾斜度、掌倾角及尺骨变异。
平均随访10个月时,屈伸活动范围为124°,旋前旋后活动范围为178°。握力为对侧的80%。15例患者无痛。3例患者发生伸肌腱腱鞘炎。X线测量显示桡骨高度平均为11mm,桡骨倾斜度为21°,掌倾角为4°,尺骨变异为1mm。
本研究结果表明,即使在存在干骺端粉碎的情况下,锁定掌侧钢板治疗桡骨远端关节内骨折仍有效,且并发症发生率低。
