Observation of curative effect of open reduction internal fixation combined with external fixation of intra-articular fractures of the distal radius

Abstract

Objective To investigate the clinical effect internal fixation combined with external fixator incision in the treatment of intra-articular fractures of the distal radius.Methods 80 cases of intra-articular distal radius fracture patients underwent cut internal fixation combined with external fixator in the treatment of orthopedic were chosen,postoperative rehabilitation exercises,fracture healing after the removal of the external fixator.All patients were followed up for 8 months to 12 months,an average of 9.2 months.Results 80 patients were intraarticular fractures healed,the time required was 4 to 10 months,an average of 6.3 months.In accordance with the assessment of functional systems Dienst wrist,51 cases wrist function were excellent,21 cases were good,the good rate was 90％ (72/80).There were no clinical fractures common complication after surgery.Conclusion Open internal fixation combined with external fixator treatment of intra-articular fractures of the distal radius fractures not only makes reduction of fracture and immobilization satisfaction,but also conducive to the wrist of early postoperative functional rehabilitation exercise.
