Disease relevance of Radius Fractures

• This belief has been substantiated by the association of extensor pollicis longus rupture with chronic tenosynovitis caused by repetitive activity, inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, and minimally displaced distal radius fractures [1].
• Venous plasma levels of lidocaine were determined in 8 patients presenting to the emergency department with acute distal radius fractures and who had had anesthesia with fracture hematoma block [2].
• Soft-tissue injuries or discus lesions can be confirmed or excluded before osteoplastic surgery for distal radius fractures or reconstruction of ligaments in cases of carpal instability [3].
• The indications for operation included post-traumatic changes secondary to distal radius fracture in 5 cases, Kienböck's disease in 1, Madelung's deformity in 1, and rheumatoid arthritis in 1 [4].

High impact information on Radius Fractures

• Open reduction and internal fixation of unstable distal radius fractures: results using the trimed fixation system [5].
• Pin reduction and fixation of volar fracture fragments of distal radius fractures via the flexor carpi radialis tendon [6].
• METHODS: A consecutive series of patients with AO type C3 distal radius fractures treated by one surgeon were studied [6].
• CONCLUSIONS: Norian SRS proved to be clinically safe and effective as a cancellous bone cement to maintain fracture reduction of unstable extraarticular distal radius fractures [7].
• Twelve of the women with probable primary HPT had suffered a distal radius fracture as compared with 3 of the controls (P less than 0.05) [8].

Chemical compound and disease context of Radius Fractures

• Augmentation of distal radius fracture fixation with coralline hydroxyapatite bone graft substitute [9].
• Fixation of distal radius fractures using AO titanium volar distal radius plate [10].
• An AO type C2 distal radius fracture was simulated in a cadaver model by creating a metaphyseal defect of 5 mm and an intra-articular defect of 2 mm [11].
• METHODS: Three different plates were applied on surgically simulated unstable extra-articular distal radius fractures in formalin-fixed cadaver radiuses [12].
• Calcium phosphate bone cement for treatment of distal radius fractures: a preliminary report [13].

Gene context of Radius Fractures

• CONCLUSION: The treatment of unstable, dorsally dislocated, distal radius fractures AO types A3, C1 and C2, with a palmar placed 2.4 mm interlocking plate system and without additional treatment of the metaphyseal defects showed good radiological and functional results with minimal loss of reduction [14].
• Fixation of complex elbow fractures, Part II. Proximal ulna and radius fractures [15].
• CONCLUSION: The ICF is an informative model for examining distal radius fracture [16].
• CONCLUSION: We conclude that the use of Norian SRS to supplement pin and screw fixation is effective in maintaining the reduction of unstable intra-articular distal radius fractures in osteoporotic patients and provides a better clinical outcome than percutaneous pinning [17].
• CONCLUSIONS: The SCS/V plate fixation system is the most rigid of the systems tested and may offer adequate stability for the treatment of the distal radius fracture in which the anterior and/or posterior metaphyseal cortex is comminuted severely [18].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Radius Fractures

• METHODS: Six patients had a corrective osteotomy for a malunited distal radius fracture using carbonated hydroxyapatite as an alternative to an autogenous bone graft [19].
