K-wire fixation for redislocated Colles' fractures Malunion in 8/21 cases

Calcium Phosphate Cement-Assisted Balloon Osteoplasty for a Colles’ Fracture on Arteriovenous Fistula Forearm of a Maintenance Hemodialysis Patient

“…8,10 -12 Numerous reports have suggested a loss of reduction with or without statistical significance after the removal of pinning or external fixation. 8,10,11 Mah and Atkinson reported good clinical results after a closed reduction and percutaneous pinning. 12 However, their patients were younger with supposedly strong bone mineral density, and no description was given as to whether the bone was osteoporotic.…”

“…Their final results were worse than those of Oskam et al who reported malunion after K-wire fixation. 10,11 In this case, external fixation was contraindicated because the dorso-radial aspect of the forearm, which is optimal for proximal pins, was occupied by arterialized veins that would pose an obstacle to needling or auscultation. Therefore, we chose percutaneous pinning in combination with CPC to minimize correction loss.…”

“…Thus, it should be distinguished from other authors' reports. 8,10 Ludvigsen et al reported that although external fixation and percutaneous pinning showed the same outcome for unstable Colles' fractures, the latter was better not only in terms of cost-effectiveness but also in light of the complications such as stiffness, pin track infections, pin loosening, and reflex sympathetic dystrophy. 11 Their radiologic correction loss after the removal of external fixation or K-wires was minimal because they performed fixation in a state of poor reduction.…”

Function Versus Position: A Randomized Controlled Trial of Interfocal Kirschner Wiring of Unstable Distal Radial Fractures

“…A criticism of intrafocal wiring in the elderly has been its inability to maintain volar tilt with late collapse and shortening [5,8,9]. The prime determinant of a good functional outcome is the restoration of palmar tilt, with significant disability resulting with dorsal angulation greater than 12° [6].…”

Volar Locking Plate Fixation for Distal Radius Fractures in Hemodialysis Patients

“…대부분 의 만성 신부전 환자들이 혈액투석을 위하여 상완, 전완부에 동정맥루를 가지고 있어 동정맥루의 손상에 대한 위험성과 출 혈성 경향 때문에 11 , 동정맥루의 동측에 원위 요골 골절이 발생 한 경우 수술을 결정하기 어려우며, 수술을 한다고 하더라도 침습이 적은 경피적 핀이나 12 , 외고정기를 고려할 수 있었다. 경피적 핀과 외고정기의 원위 요골 골절의 수술적 고정 치료 결과에 대해 다양한 보고가 있었으며, 정복 소실을 보고하는 일부 연구들이 있었다 [13][14][15] . 전방 잠김 금속판(volar locking plate)은 정복 소실 없이 전방 피질골만으로도 좋은 결과들이 보고되어 [16][17][18][19][20] …”
