Background: Intra-articular distal radius fractures are unstable, difficult to reduce it anatomically and to immobilize in closed cast and are associated with high rate of complications. External fixation is accepted generally as superior to closed plaster in young patients with intra-articular comminuted displaced distal radius fracture. The study Aims to evaluate the radiological and functional outcome of intraarticular distal radius fractures treated by external fixator using ligamentotaxis. Methods: A prospective analysis of 12 patients with Intra-articular distal radius fracture. The right side was affected in 5 patient and left side 7 patients, all of patient treated by external fixator. The patients were assessed clinically by Sarmiento modification of Gartland and Werley score post-operatively. Results: Functional evaluation was performed according to the criteria described by modification with Sarmiento of Gartland and Werley score. Results were excellent in 6 (50%), good in 4 (33.3%), and fair in 3 (16.7%) patients. No patient had poor result. Conclusions: External fixator yields excellent radiological and functional results in majority of comminuted intra-articular distal radius fractures. And it is a stable fixation which permits movements of fingers, elbow and shoulder and is safe & simple procedure acceptable by the patient. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
