Distal radius fractures (DRFs) are one of the most common injuries in orthopaedics,accounting for up to 20% of all fractures seen in the emergency room.At present,the optimal treatment of these fractures remains controversial.Although most DRFs can be treated non-operatively,such as immobilized by plaster,splint or brace,surgical management has become more and more popular with people's living standards improved and expecting better functional outcome.Surgical treatments for DRFs include percutaneous fixation with Kirschner wires,skeletal external fixation,open reduction and internal fixation,intramedullary nails,fixation using the mini-invasive approach,arthroscopy,and total wrist arthroplasty.Currently,open reduction with volar plate fixation is the most popular and widely way for DRFs,while a mini-invasive approach is a new reliable and reproducible procedure with few complications.Despite recently surgical treatment has become more and more popular,it is also unclear whether surgical intervention will produce better long-term outcomes.The aim of this paper is to present the studies in the literatures about the treatment for DRFs and an update of existing techniques.

Ulnar styloid fractures are commonly associated with distal radius fractures.It remains a surgical dilemma whether to fix the ulnar styloid or not.Some surgeons believe that management of the ulnar styloid fractures is imperative while others feel that they should be managed conservatively.Several clinical studies have concluded that the ulnar styloid fractures have no impact on the anatomic,radiographic,or functional results when accompanied with a distal radius fracture.Others have found they are associated with distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) instability,concomitant triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) tear,decreased range of motion,or decreased grip strength in the affected wrist.The purpose of this review was to evaluate the effect of associated ulnar styloid fractures on the distal radius fractures and to discuss the treatment of ulnar styloid fractures.

Objective To compare the diagnostic reliability of AO classification and Evans-Jensen classifications in X ray film and three-dimensional CT reconstruction images intertochanteric fractures, and explore advantage of the three-di?mensional CT. Methods A retrospective study was performed to evaluate 54 patients with intertochanteric fractures. Three orthopaedic surgeons were asked to make assessment of fracture classifications using X ray film and the three-dimen?sional CT images. Agreement test was performed to evaluate interobserver and intraobserver reliability for fracture classifica?tion. Results When X ray film was used, mean Kappa values of interobserver reliability for AO and Evans-Jensen classifi?cations between three surgeons were 0.597 and 0.571, that was medium consistency. While using three-dimensional CT to AO classification, lower Kappa value was 0.411, medium consistency. Evans-Jensen classification, Kappa value was 0.704, highly consistency. Each surgeon respectively using X ray film and three-dimensional CT, the mean Kappa values of AO and Evans-Jensen classification were 0.464, medium consistency and 0.191 (0.160-0.233), weak consistency. Conclusion Both classifications based on X ray film show moderate consistency, using three-dimensional CT does not improve the consis?tency of AO classification. The three-dimensional CT is not applicable in Evans-Jensen classification.

Objective To discuss how to reduce the incidence of postoperative infection and am-putation of patients after earthquake.Methods The wound infection and corresponding therapeutic outcome were analyzed in 592 patients in front line hospitals and station hospitals.Results The inci-dence of infection was 30. 7% in patients treated in front hospital within 8 hours post-trauma but 79. 9% after 8 hours post-trauma. There included 1 patient(0. 2%) with amputation due to clostridial myonecro-sis and 5(1. 2%)with amputation due to serious infection. Incidelice of postoperative wound infection was 7. 1% after selective operation for close injury. The incidence of infection in patients in station hospi-tals was 50. 8%, with no amputation, because they received debridement and antibiotics in site or front line hospitals. No postoperative infection was found in patients with close injury treated with selective op-eration in station hospitals. The major bacteria of wound infection in either front line hospitals or station hospitals were enterococcus faecalis and Eschrichia Coli. Incidence of combined infection was higher than that of single infection. And Gram-Negative bacillus infection exceeded Gram-Positive bacillus infection. The major wound infection obrained effective control through treatment with sensitive antibiotics.Con-clusions After earthqiale, the incidence of infection in patients with open injury is high, with high am-putation rate due to serious infection. Therefore, we propose performing as soon as possible debridement and external fixation with antibiotic treatment but reducing internal fixation. The postoperative infection late of patients with close injury in front line hospitals is much higher than that in station hospitals;their-fore, patients with stable vital signs should be transported to station hospitals as early as possible in order to reduce incidenee of infection.
