Abstract:

Objective To compare clinical effect of anatomical locking plate fixation and ordinary steel fixation for treating distal radius fracture involving articular surface. Methods From June 2010 to September 2013,a total of 96 cases of patients who suffered distal radius fracture involving articular surface in our hospital were divided into the control group and the observation group according to the degree of fracture, with 50 patients in the control group, 46 patients in the observation group. Patients in the observation group was treated by anatomical locking plate fixation, while patients in the control group was treated by ordinary steel fixation. Time for beginning of postoperative rehabilitation, fracture healing time and clinical effect of the two groups were compared. Results Time for beginning of postoperative rehabilitation in the observation group was significantly earlier than that of the control group (1.22±0.71 d vs 2.34±1.07 d, P<0.05). Fracture healing time of observation group was significantly shorter than that of control group( 66.67±12.43 d vs 74.47±15.63 d, P<0.05). The excellent-good rate of observation group (94.0%) was higher than that of control group (71.7%), the difference being statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Compared with ordinary steel fixation, anatomical locking plate was more reliable in fixation and had better clinical result on patients sustain distal radius fracture involving articular surface.
