“…In a study of 137 patients with distal radius fractures, Clayton et al [27] found a significant but modest correlation between femoral neck T score measured 3 months after the injury and the probability of malunion defined as dorsal angulation [10°or ulnar variance [3 mm. Our results suggest that T scores may have benefit in identifying patients with high risk of severe malunion if treated with closed reduction and cast.…”

“…Proper classification before the treatment of distal radius fractures is important in the determination of treatment plan. Type C fractures according to AO classification, are difficult to treat surgically due to significant intraarticular extensions and metaphysis defects (Clayton et al, 2009). Multifragmentary nature of fracture shows the severity of trauma and its high energy (Fernandez, 2000).…”

This research studied the efficacy of compression application in patients with instable intraarticular distal radius fractures. Here, results for 44 patients (32 males 12 females, mean age 36, distribution 21 to 59), with instable distal radius fracture, was retrospectively assessed. 22 patients who have received conventional closed reduction prior to external fixation and 22 patients, who have received compression in anterior-posterior plate, were included in the study. Same brand of external fixator was applied to all fractures and in addition, Kirchner wire was also used together with fixator for the fixation of fracture to a total of four cases, including two cases from compression group and two cases from control group. For two groups, radiologic AO classification was used. In both groups, radial curve angle, palmary curve angle and radial length data were compared. Functional results were assessed in line with Modified Sarmiento scale. Six of the fractures were open fractures. According to AO classification, 6 of the fractures were of type B1, 4 fractures B2, 14 fractures C2 and 10 fractures C3. The term of external fixation application was an average of 5 weeks in both groups and the follow up term of the patients was average 7.6 months (distribution 4 to 19 months). There were no significant differences from radiological aspect between the two groups (p>0.05). In the functional assessment, the results of the patient group, subject to reduction with compression technique, were better compared to control group (p<0.05). The application of compression in the treatment of instable and intraarticular distal radius fractures, improve clinical and radiological outcomes. This described technique, is an easily applicable and safe method.

Analyzed literature data demonstrates the influence of fracture in individuals of different age on the risk of post-traumatic osteopenia and osteoporosis, as well as increase in the risk of the recurrent fractures. It is proved that the fracture leads to a decrease in bone mineral density (BMD) not only in the injured limb, but also other parts of the skeleton. In majority of prospective studies and metaanalysis it was shown that there is no full recovery of BMD after sustained fracture. Posttraumatic osteopenia and osteoporosis increase the risk of re-fracture in the future.
