Wrist arthroscopy has been used as an important adjunct procedure to distal radius fracture management. This procedure allows minimal surgical intervention and provides excellent visualization of the joint for anatomical...
External fixation with or without ancillary K-wire fixation, once being one of the most popular methods of surgery for unstable distal radius fractures, is now losing its position due to...
In determining the treatment plan of distal radius fractures, the fracture type, stability, age, activity of patient may be concerned and radiologic parameters such as radial length, dorsal and volar...
Avulsion injury of the flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) tendon from the distal phalanx is considered as a rare injury. We report a patient who sustained a FDP tendon rupture insertion...
Causes of ulnar nerve compression in Guyon's canal are various, but thrombosis of the ulnar artery due to a single trauma is rarely reported. We report a case of ulnar...
Since the advent of volar locking plate, volar approach for internal fixation has become a major trend in the treatment for unstable distal radius fracture. However, dorsal approach is preferred...
PURPOSE: The goal of this retrospective study is to compare radiologic outcome and clinical outcome between operative and non-operative treatment of unstable distal radius fracture in patients over 65-year-old.
METHODS: From...
