Functional Outcome Following Treatment of Distal Radius Fracture: A Comparative Study of Closed Reduction and Plaster Cast Application versus Kirschner Wire Fixation
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RECENT TRENDS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 2014, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
Distal Radius Fractures are one of the common Fractures of day to day practice. There are many classifications and varied treatment options with variable results. Various studies with short term and long term results of treatment of distal radius fractures have correlated deformities with loss of function. This prompted us to undertake a comparative study to determine the functional outcome with clinicoradiological analysis of patients with distal radius fractures treated with closed reduction and cast application versus K wire fixation and cast. At last follow up no significant difference in functional outcome was obtained with closed reduction and cast versus K wire fixation with cast.
