Dr. N. V. Siva Rama Krishna, Dr. Ch. Prathyush
Abstract :
The goals of treatment are to assess the effectiveness of external fixator and ligamentotaxis in comminuted, intra–articular fracture distal end of radius. To assess anatomical and functional outcome of intra–articular fractures of distal radius fixed by ligamentotaxis with external fixator. METHODS: All the patients attending the out–patient and in–patient department of Orhtopaedics at Katuri Medical College and Hospital, Chinakondrupadu, Guntur with fracture of distal end radius fulfilling the inclusion criteria during the study period of 2 years from November 2016 to October 2018. Results : An excellent outcome was seen in 5 patients (17%) good outcome in 17 patients (57%) and a fair outcome in 7 patients (23%) and poor outcome in 1 patient (3%). Minor complication, pin tenderness were present but recovered completely after removal of the fixator. Conclusion: External fixator is simple and inexpensive. Displaced severely comminuted intraarticular fractures should be treated with an external fixator. It effectively stabilises fractures yet allowing for hand and prevents stiffness. It is difficult to regain volar tilt by ligamento taxis and maintain it by external fixators. Most complications are minor and easily treated and do not affect Outcome.
