a Photograph of a study patient’s hand and wrist with percutaneous pinning with pin-in-plaster technique for distal radius fractures. The hand was maintained with a finger strap through the index finger under longitudinal traction and subsequent monitoring with fluoroscopy. b Image intensification fluoroscopy was used to assist the insertion of K-wires through the radial styloid with the ...

12 mar 2024 · Distal radius fractures are the most common orthopaedic injury and generally result from fall on an outstretched hand. Diagnosis is made clinically and radiographically with orthogonal radiographs of the wrist.
7 lut 2020 · A key method of surgical fixation is percutaneous pinning, involving the insertion of wires through the skin to stabilise the fracture. This is an update of a Cochrane Review published in 2007. Objectives: To assess the effects (benefits and harms) of percutaneous pinning versus cast immobilisation alone and of different methods and techniques ...
An unstable fracture, particularly one that extends into the wrist’s radiocarpal joint (intra-articular), may be a good candidate for a surgical procedure known as external fixation. This approach entails placing into the bone metal pins that extend outside the surface of the skin.
Distal radius fractures can be reset either with surgery (open reduction) or without it (closed reduction). This article discusses the recovery process for both approaches, plus the pain management tactics that can be used for all patients.
In case of pin loosening or pin-track infection, the following steps need to be taken: Remove all involved pins and place new pins in a healthy location. Debride the pin sites in the operating theater, using curettage and irrigation.
16 lip 2021 · The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and the American Society for Surgery of the Hand released updated Clinical Practice Guidelines in 2020 on the evaluation and treatment of acute distal radius fractures.
