Abstract

Aim: Distal radius fracture extending into the joint is very common; in any case, the administration of this fracture is controvertible. Related to the significance of intra-articular fracture of the distal radius and the best treatment strategy for the fracture, we tried to evaluate the achievement rate following the treatment of comminuted intra-articular fracture of the distal radius by means of closed reduction and utilization of external fixator. Material and Methods: This retrospective study was taken over at our division of orthopedics by means of appraisal of radiographs and patient documents of those overlook from 2016 to 2018. Radiographic criteria incorporated the level of angulation and shortening of the range of radius. Information were evaluated SPSS 18 programming and were exhibited as mean ± standard deviation (SD). The essentialness level was set at P ≤ 0.05. Results: Generally: 28% of the patients was seen ≤ 2 mm shortening of the radius, 53% of the patients had 2- 5 mm outspread shortening and 19% of the patients had in excess of 5 mm shortening of the range. Most of the members patients had admissible results. The mean average angulation was 6.28 ± 2.85 degrees and the average shortening was 3.92 ± 2.22. %39 percent of the patients had shortening of under 5 mm, 56% had shortening of 5- 10 mm and 5% in excess of 10 mm shortening, individually. Conclusion: The aftereffects of our examination demonstrated that the smaller than expected external fixator is a decent and viable treatment alternative for acquiring outspread length, angulation and hard association in intra-articular fracture of the distal radius.
