Fracture of Distal End of Radius Clinical Trial
Official title:
Short Term Functional and Radiological Outcomes of Using Double Short Titanium Elastic Nails in Treatment of Pediatric Distal Radius Fractures.
The aim of this study is to investigate the short term functional and radiological outcomes of using double short titanium elastic nails as treatment of pediatric distal radius fractures.
Severely displaced distal radial fractures in children are generally considered unstable; especially when associated with total rupture of the periosteum. Although the remodeling potential of distal radial fractures is very good in childhood, a subgroup of severely displaced and unstable distal pediatric forearm fractures are candidates for operative fixation because acceptable reduction cannot be maintained in a conservative way. These injuries are usually candidates for closed reduction and minimal invasive fixation. Operative osteosynthesis technique of pediatric wrist fractures are optimally minimally invasive, physeal sparing, and with acceptable reduction. Most operative methods need complementary 4 to 6 weeks of postoperative immobilization by casting. Many of these techniques do not respect physeal plates. Both current available fixation techniques; modifications of Kirschner wiring or conventional elastic stable intramedullary nailing [ESIN]) have the same rate of mild complications. Growth disturbance is a rare, but represents a very rare severe complication of transepiphyseal wire placement. Varga et al. Medicine (2017) 96:14[8] used modified ESIN method for operative treatment of severely displaced pediatric distal metaphyseal or metadiaphyseal radial fractures. With 2 short, prebent, retrograde elastic titanium nails inserted proximal to the distal radial physis, a very stable stabilization achieved without the need for a prolonged period of cast immobilization. The nails do not cross the physeal plates, so the possibility of postoperative physeal arrest is reduced. their results:(the study shows a new technique in fixation of severely displaced pediatric distal radial fractures é more stable fixation,less pin track irritations and infections,early return to full range of motion within the sixth postoperative week, short removable splint was sufficient for early pain-free mobilization. All the x-rays made 6 months postoperatively showed anatomic reduction, and there has been no sign of omic reduction, and there has been no sign of growth disturbance at the area of thece at the area of the distal radius) We conduct this study to evaluate the Short term functional and radiological outcomes of using double short titanium elastic nails in treatment of pediatric distal radius fractures. ;
