Abstract: Aim: To compare the functional, clinical and radiological outcomes between open reduction with internal fixation of intrarticular fracture distal radius with locking compression volar T- plate and non locking volar T- plate. Methods: The study included patients with comminuted unstable intra-articular distal radius fracture treated by open reduction and internal fixation from Sept. 2008 to Sept. 2011, Out of total cases operated in Orthopedic department of S.R.G. Hospital , Jhalawar, we have included 22 cases of fracture distal end radius by open reduction and internal fixation . 11 were operated by using non-locking volar T- plate and 11 were operated with locking compression volar T- plate. Follow up of both the groups were done for 24-26 wks.The two groups were compared for range of motion(ROM) , clinical and radiological grounds. Results: All patients were assessed clinically and radio graphically after a mean follow-up duration of 24-26 weaks . Results were obtained according to functional criteria of Green and O’Brien Point System . We found that the clinical and radiological outcomes for the 2 groups were not significantly different. Conclusion: Open reduction and internal fixation of of distal radius fracture with volar T- plate radius locking and nonlocking in adults can restore articular congruity and result in good to excellent function. Though in severe osteoporotic fracture and severe cummunited fracture locking type volar T- plate is a better alternative mode of treatment.
Keywords:- Open reduction and internal fixation , range of motion, volar T- plate, Green and O’Brien point system, Sarmiento’s anatomical criteria. |
