Abstract:
ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical therapeutic effect of limited internal fixation combined with external fixator in treatment of C-type distal radius fractures. MethodsFrom September 2008 to September 2010, 25 patients with C-type distal radius fractures treated by limited internal fixation combined with external fixator. Moreover, these patients were followed up after discharge. ResultsAll patients were followed up for 3-20 ( 12.6 ±4.7) months,and didn't have severe complications, such as pin tract infection,pinhole fracture,introgenic nerve or vascular damage,wound infection, osteomyelitis and so on. All patients were cured, the cured time was 3-9(5.2 ± 1.3) months. According to Dienst function evaluation standards, 9 were excellent, 14 were good, 2 were general,good rate was 92.0％ (23/25).According to the anatomical recovery outcome:5 anatomic reset, 17 function reset,3 close to the function reset. ConclusionThe treatment of C-type distal radius fractures treated by limited internal fixation combined with external fixator has the advantage of easy performance, reliable fixation, satisfactory effect,less complications, and this technique is worthy of being applied and popularized clinically.
