Abstract
Objective To investigate the effect of manipulative reduction combined with small splint external fixation on RUSS score, Cooney score, and self-care ability of patients with distal radius fracture. Methods 68 patients with distal radius fractures treated at our hospital from June, 2018 to May, 2019 were selected, and randomly divided into a control group and a study group, 34 cases for each group. The control group were treated with conventional open reduction and small splint fixation, and the study group with manipulative reduction and small splint external fixation. The treatment effects were compared between these two groups. Results The treatment effective rate was 94.1% in the study group, and was 73.5% in the control group (P<0.05). The RUSS and Cooney scores were higher in the study group than in the control group (all P<0.05). The score of the study group was higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Manipulative reduction combined with small splint external fixation for patients with distal radius fracture can promote the recovery of wrist joint function and greatly improve their self-care ability, has good fracture line healing and quick postoperative recovery, and is easy to operate and effective, so it is worth being generalized. Key words: Manipulative reduction; Small splint external fixation; Distal radius fracture; RUSS score; Cooney score; Self-care ability
