Abstract:
Purpose: To assess the clinical, radiographic and functional outcome of treating intraarticular distal radius fractures with fragment specific fixation and to study various complications associated with fragment specific approach. Methodology: We conducted a prospective study from November 2018 to December 2020 on 15 patients. The radiographic goals to be achieved in the reconstruction of DRFs include radial shortening ,5 mm, radial inclination .15˚, radiocarpal intra-articular step-off or gap ,2 mm, sigmoid notch incongruity ,2 mm, and less than 15˚ dorsal tilt. Results: 6 patients were classified as 2R3C3 using AO/OTA classification, 5 patients were 2R3B3, 2 patients were 2R3B2, while 1 in each 2R3B1, and 2R3C1, while none of the patient fell down in 2R3C2. However, mean volar tilt in the study comes down to 7.26 degrees when all the study subjects were included. In patients with volar rim, and radial column involvement, 8 patients were classified as excellent, while 1 had good score. Only 4 patients had residual dorsal tilt, none of the patients had prominence of ulnar styloid and radial deviation of hand. Conclusion: Encouraged by these advantages, we undertook this study to look for clear advantages and disadvantages of Fragment specific approach over the prevailing modalities of treatment for fracture distal end radius as described by Medoff and combined it with the concept of double-column fixation to achieve a stable result that would allow early wrist motion.
