“…In the past, distal radius fractures were treated by closed reduction and cast immobilization, and later with additional k-wire stabilization [13][14][15][16]. Due to a repeated loss of reduction, the palmar locking plates became more established [17][18][19][20].…”

In the recent years, treatment of distal radius fractures (DRF) has advanced considerably. Surgical fixation with palmar angular stable plate has gained popularity, due to a reported lower complication rate when compared to dorsal fixation. The type of trauma or injury, surgical procedure and impaired bone quality are all contributors to complications in DRF. The main aim of this review is to summarize the most common complications and possible therapeutic solutions. In addition, strategies for minimizing these complications will be discussed.

“…The arm is immobilized in a below elbow cast during the first 4-6 weeks of all studies on the Kapandji procedure, and K-wires are removed by the eighth postoperative week. In some cases, a short-arm brace is then used (11,12,13) . This study showed that union time of patients was 4 weeks in 5 (27.8%) patients, 5 weeks in 5 (27.8%) patients, and 8 (44.4%) patients had union within 6 weeks.…”

Background: One of the most frequent injuries seen in orthopedic practice is distal radius fractures. X-ray is the most common test used to determine the presence of a fracture. In some cases, a CT scan is needed to confirm a fracture or exclude intraarticular extension. Intrafocal Kapandji wiring is a safe and effective technique for treating stable fractures of the lower end of the radius. Objective: The current study aimed to evaluate the results of treatment of unstable displaced distal radius fractures in adults with the kapandji procedure. Patients and methods: A total of 18 patients were included in this clinical trial, with a mean age of 46.61 years; 61.1% of them were female. The extra articular unstable displaced distal radius fractures they had were treated by the Kapandji procedure at the Orthopedic Department, Zagazig University Hospital (Egypt) and Central Ajdabia Hospital (Libya), during the period from March 2022 to September 2022, with 6 months follow up. Results: Concerning overall outcome, only 1 (5.6%) patient had fair outcome, 8 (44.4%) patients had good outcome while 9 (50%) patients had excellent outcome. Concerning complications, no patient had tendon injury, no neurovascular injury or sundeck's atrophy. Meanwhile, 7 (38.9%) patients had superficial infection. Conclusion: An efficient surgical approach for treating distal radius fractures is closed reduction and percutaneous k-wire fixation using kapandji technique.

“…A recent network metaanalysis concluded that plate fixation offers the best results in terms of early functional outcome and lower complication rate. The long-term outcomes, however, show no stabilizing technique to be superior to any other [2,3,9,14,[25][26][27][28].…”

Distal Radius fractures (DRF) are one of the most common injuries in the upper extremity and incidence is expected to rise due to a growing elderly population. The complex decision to treat patients operatively or conservatively depends on a large variety of parameters which have to be considered. No unanimous consensus has been reached yet, which operative approach and fixation technique would produce the best postoperative functional results with lowest complication rates. This article addresses the available evidence for indications, approaches, reduction, and fixation techniques in treating DRF.
