Abstract
Distal radius fracture is one of the most common fractures with an incidence of 195.2/100,000 persons per year. The objective of this study was to observe the effect of different drug formulae used in traditional medicine in Sri Lanka for the fractures. 46 years old female patient with distal end radius fracture was se-lected from traditional orthopedic dispensary at Rathnapura district in Sri Lanka. Duration of the study was 5 weeks. It was observed that six prescriptions were used for the treatment. Improvements of main clinical features i.e. Sandhi Shula (Pain), Sandhi Shotha (local swelling), Sparsha Asahyathawa (local tenderness), Sandhi Hanthi (Impairment of functions) and Vikruthitha (Visible and palpable deformity) were analyzed by using prepared scoring system along with the line of treatment. Significant improvements were observed after the treatment. Pharmacodynamic properties of the main ingredients in the formulae support the rapid recovery of the presenting clinical features.
