Artigo em Inglês | IMSEAR | ID: sea-174753
ABSTRACT

Background:

A retrospective study was conducted in the department of orthopaedic surgery in a tertiary care hospital of western Maharashtra.

Methods:

Data of all the patients with fracture of distal end radius with or without ulna fracture who were admitted in our centre over a period of 4 years were recorded from case files, casuality admission register and operative records. A total of 204 patients were included in our study and mode of treatment was compared among the various available treatment modality such as cast/slab; percutation fixation with k-wire, external fixation & plate osteosynthesis.

Results:

Out of the total number of cases (n=204) for fracture distal end radius, nearly 10% case were managed with cast (n=21), 22% with percutaneous fixation with k-wire (n=45), 23.5% with external fixature (n=48), 19% with both external fixator and k-wire (n=38) and 25% with plate osteosynthesis (n=52). Hence when we assess the modality of treatment of distal end radius year wise from 2011 to 2014, the incidence of surgery by plate osteosynthesis has increased over a span of period.

Conclusion:

Retrospective study conducted at our tertiary care hospital concludes that incidence of plating for distal end radius fracture has increased over a period of time as compared to cast, percutaneous k -wire fixation and external fixator.
