ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the clinical efficacy about manipulative reduction of the radialis and ulnar fractures.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From June 2005 to June 2009, 85 patients with radialis and ulnar fractures, 50 males and 35 females, ranging in age from 1 to 20 years with an average of 10.8 years, were treated with manipulative reduction and external fixation by small splint. There were 53 cases of direct violence, 30 cases of transmission violence, 2 cases of reversing violence; and there were 6 cases of comminuted fracture, 8 cases of spiral fracture, 21 cases of oblique fracture, 50 cases of serrated or transverse fracture. The clinical effects were analyzed according to Anderson criterion.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Forty-two cases obtained anatomical reduction and 35 cases obtained nearly anatomical reduction and 8 cases occurred re-displacement. Eight cases of re-displacement were re-fixed after manipulative reduction, 2 cases obtained anatomical reduction and 4 cases obtained nearly anatomical reduction; 2 cases unsuccessfully were diverted to open reduction and internal fixation. All the fractures obtained clinically healing with average of 42 days (ranged from 28 to 80 days). All patients were followed up from 3 to 10 months with an average of 7.5 months. According to Anderson criterion, 77 case got excellent result, 5 good, 3 fair.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Manipulation and external fixation by small splint for the treatment of radialis and ulnar fractures, have advantage of less trauma, forceful fixation, quick healing, cheap cost, which can obtain satisfactorily clinical effects.</p>
