Casting versus percutaneous pinning for extra-articular fractures of the distal radius in an elderly chinese population: a prospective randomised controlled trial

“…Although our study showed that the ‘tripod technique’ is safe without significant complications, there is a Cochrane review of wiring for distal radial fractures (Handoll et al., 2007) which concluded that, although there might be some advantage to wiring, there was no consensus about the best construct and the complication rate was higher. These were all extra-articular fractures.…”

Intrafocal Pinning in Distal Extraarticular Radius Fracture: A Retrospective Study Based on Patient Age

“…27 Similar results were reported by other authors who concluded that closed reduction and percutaneous pinning was associated with excellent range motion. 16,27,33–35 Our results of percutaneous pinning therefore seem to be less favorable compared with other data in the literature and have led us to abandon this technique in favor of plate osteosynthesis. It is important to consider that in older patients, cast immobilization can produce comparable functional results to wire fixation despite worse radiological outcomes.…”

Which modality is the best choice in distal radius fractures treated with two different Kirschner wire fixation and immobilization techniques?

“…[29,30] The method of limb immobilization following pinning is considered controversial among authors studying this topic. [2,31,32] To the best of our knowledge, there has been no previous report in the English literature of an immobilization method as described here for Group I patients of this study.…”
