Abstract:
Objective Evaluation of the effect of manual reduction with small external fixation on the treatment of elderly Barton fractures.Methods A total of 244 elderly patients with Barton fractures were divided into conservative group (n=126) and operation group (n=118) according to random number table. The conservative group was treated by with manual reduction with small external fixation, and the operation group was treated with open reduction and internal fixation. The complications of the patients, the time of fracture healing, hospitalization time and treatment cost were recorded.The wrist function was evaluated by PRWE wrist score system and Wrightington wrist function score system.The clinical efficacy was evaluated by Gartland-Werley Colles fracture evaluation method.Results The excellent and good effect rate was 91.3% (115/126) in the conservative group and 97.5% (115/118) in the operation group. There was no significant difference between the two groups(χ2=0.857,P=0.354). One year, 6 months, 3 months and 6 weeks after treatment, in the conservative group, the PRWE score (10.4 ± 7.9, 19.1 ± 8.0, 40.5 ± 7.8, 55.7 ± 8.1vs. 80.8 ± 8.2,F=113.665), wrightington score (8.2 ± 3.7, 13.2 ± 4.0, 21.4 ± 3.9, 26.3 ± 4.2vs. 30.1 ± 4.2,F=121.348) were significantly lower than those before treatment (P<0.01). And in the operation group, the PRWE score (10.2 ± 7.8, 15.0 ± 8.0, 26.5 ± 8.0, 44.7 ± 8.2vs. 79.6 ± 8.6,F=81.411), Wrightington score (8.1 ± 3.8, 12.1 ± 4.0, 16.5 ± 4.0, 20.6 ± 4.3vs. 29.8 ± 4.6,F=69.113) were significantly lower than those before treatment (P<0.01). But there was no significant difference in PRWE score and Wrightington scores between the two groups after treatment (t=0.149, 0.104,P=0.881, 0.917, respectively). In the conservative group, the hospitalization time (5.28 ± 2.10 dvs. 12.8 ± 2.21d,t=25.260) was significantly shorter than that of the control group (P<0.01), and the treatment cost (3.26 ± 0.93 thousandvs. 28.66 ± 1.04 thousand,t=200.369) was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.01). The overall incidence of complication was 8.7% (11/126) in the conservative group and 17.8% in the surgery group (21/118). There was significant difference between the two groups(χ2=4.396,P=0.036).Conclusions The manual reduction with small splint external fixation was simple, low cost, small trauma, short hospitalization time, and less complications.
