Description
Introduction: This following study examines distal radius fracture care, the most common upper extremity injury in the US. More than 300,000 fractures occur annually. Volar buttress plating is a popular method for treating unstable fractures due to its longevity and stability. Both Kirschner-wire and locking plates have pros and cons. The effects of the 2.7-mm volar locking plate have not been extensively studied despite multiple plating operations. Distal radial fracture treatment in the elderly is poorly researched. Aims and Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the functional results associated with buttress-plated distal radius fractures. Method: This prospective Study includes 65 patients aged 18–70 with buttress-plated distal radius fractures. The study used Gyaneswar et al.’s sample size (n = 4pq / d^2) to get 90% satisfactory-excellent results. Comorbidities, >3-week injuries, poor tissues, complicated fractures excluded. Frykman’s categorization used demographic, injury, and radiograph data from surveys. The orthopaedic surgeon uses traditional procedures and Lindstrom’s grading for post-op evaluation for ≥3 months. Result: A study used buttress plating to treat 65 distal radius fracture patients aged 18–70. The sample size of Gyaneswar et al.’s study was 90% to reach a satisfactory-excellent result. Comorbidities, injuries lasting more than three weeks, poor tissue quality, and severe fractures are eliminated. Post-operative grading was assessed by Lindstrom. Joint stiffness and infection were reported in Table 4. Conclusion: In conclusion, buttress plate fixation for distal radius fractures had a positive effect, consistent with other studies that were better constructed.
