Description
Abstract
Background and Aim: Distal radius intraarticular fractures can have a significant impact on clinical outcomes.
Treatment of intraarticular fractures is a topic of debate in the medical community, with varying outcomes
reported in the literature. Our study aimed to assess the effectiveness of radius bone plate fixation in the
treatment of radius bone fractures.
Material and Methods: A group of fifty patients who had fractures in the distal part of their radius underwent
treatment using the fixed angle plate fixation method. Patients were monitored through radiographs, physical
examination, ASA and VAS score.
Results: Among the 50 patients, 30% (15) were found to have 2R3A1, while 22% (11) were found to have
2R3B1.Out of the total number of patients, 20% (10) were found to have 2R3B1. Out of the 28 patients, 14 were
diagnosed with 2R3A2.1 types of fracture based on the AO fracture classification. According to this
retrospective study, fractures were found to occur more frequently on the left side of the radius (56%) compared
to the right side (44%). Based on data from the American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA), the majority of
patients (84%) were classified as grade 1, indicating that they were normal and healthy. A smaller percentage of
patients (16%) were classified as grade 2, indicating that they had mild systemic disease.
Conclusion: The utilization of radius plates in the treatment of unstable distal end radius fractures has been
found to result in favorable functional outcomes and few complications.
