Purpose As the population in developed countries continues to age, the incidence of
osteoporotic distal radius fractures (DRFs) will increase as well. Treatment of DRF in the …

Impetus and Indications for Locked (Fixed-Angle) Plates ince their initial introduction in the
late nineteenth century and their subsequent popularization by Danis1-3 and the …

Background: Despite the recent trend toward the internal fixation of distal radial fractures in
older patients, the currently available literature lacks adequate randomized trials examining …

Objectives: To compare final functional and radiographic outcomes of closed reduction and
casting (CAST) with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) with palmar locking plate for …

We compared outcomes in elderly patients with intra-articular distal radius fractures treated
by closed reduction and plaster immobilization or open reduction and internal fixation with a …

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine if malalignment after extra-articular
distal radius fractures influenced patient-reported pain and disability at 1 year and to …

The fracture most commonly treated by orthopaedic surgeons is that of the distal radius.
However, as yet there is no consensus on what constitutes an 'acceptable'radiological …

Outcome after distal radius fractures has traditionally been measured by radiological
parameters and objective physical variables. To what extent these measurements reflect …

Objective To examine the incidence and predictors of complex regional pain syndrome type
I (CRPS I) after fracture of the distal radius. Design Prospective study. Setting University …

Aims We conducted a study to determine whether radiological parameters correlate with
patient reported functional outcome, health-related quality of life and physical measures of …
