Abstract:
[Objective]To preliminarily explore the method and evaluate the effect of volar LCP fixation for dorsally displaced and unstable distal radial fractures.[Method]Thirty-five patients with the fractures were treated with volar LCP combined with the techniques of K-wires and bone grafting, whose effects were evaluated preliminarily through comparing and analyzing the volar tilt, radial inclination, radial shortening and wrist function.[Result]Followed up from 9 to 24 months (average 17months), 20 patients achieved excellent, 12 good and 2 fair with 1 poor, according to Sarmiento scale.[Conclusion]Volar LCP fixation is a safe and effective treatment for unstable and dorsally displaced distal radial fractures, which could prevent reduction lost, reduce need for bone grafting and avoid tendon irritation.
