Abstract:
Objective To review the results of operative treatment of the distal radius fractures. Methods The group of 12 cases were classified accorded to universal classification. There was 1 case of type Ⅲ, 3 cases type ⅣA,2 cases type ⅣB, 5 cases type ⅣC and 1 case type ⅣD. Five of them were checked preoperatively by spiral CT and three dimensional evaluation. They were given respectively treatment by external fixation, by volar or dorsal buttress plate, with or without percutaneous K wires. Results The average period of follow up was 12 months. 9 cases were excellent and 2 cases were good. The excellent and good rate was 91.7%. Conclusions Operative interventions for intra articular fractures of distal aspect of the radius should be considered when non operation management failed. The spiral CT and three dimensional evaluation can reveal enough information about the fracture preoperatively. The proper operative method should be chosen according to the fracture type.
