Minimal Clinically Important Difference for PROMIS Physical Function and Pain Interference in Patients Following Surgical Treatment of Distal Radius Fracture
We estimated the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Physical Function (PF) and Pain Interference (PI) computer adaptive tests (CATs) following surgical treatment of distal radius fracture (DRF).Efficacy of Hand Therapy After Volar Locking Plate Fixation of Distal Radius Fracture in Middle-Aged to Elderly Women: A Randomized Controlled Trial
This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of hand therapy after volar locking plate fixation of distal radius fractures in middle-aged to elderly women.Evaluation of Risk Factors for Loss of Acceptable Alignment for Distal Radius Fractures That Are Nondisplaced or Minimally Displaced on Initial Presentation
Numerous studies have evaluated risk factors for loss of acceptable radiographic alignment, as described by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG), following closed reduction of distal radius fractures (DRFs). Less is known about DRFs that are well aligned on initial presentation and do not require closed reduction. We evaluated the rate of and risk factors for displacement of DRFs that are nondisplaced or minimally displaced on initial presentation.A Prospective Randomized Comparison of Variable-Angle and Fixed-Angle Volar Locking Plating for Intra-Articular Distal Radius Fractures
To compare clinical and radiographic outcomes of using a variable-angle volar locking plate (VAVLP) with those of using a fixed-angle volar locking plate (FAVLP) for treating unstable intra-articular fractures of the distal radius.Flexor Pollicis Longus Tendon Wear Associated With Volar Plating: A Cadaveric Study
This study examined the effect of low-profile volar rim plates (VR), proximally placed standard variable-angle locking plates (pVA-LCP), and distally placed standard variable-angle locking plates (dVA-LCP) on the flexor pollicis longus (FPL) tendon in a cadaver model. We hypothesized that tendons from the VR and pVA-LCP groups would exhibit similar contact pressures, wear patterns, and post-fatigue testing mechanical properties, whereas dVA-LCP tendons would exhibit higher contact pressures, increased tendon wear patterns, and decreased mechanical properties.Characterization of the Dorsal Ulnar Corner in Distal Radius Fractures in Postmenopausal Females: Implications for Surgical Decision Making
To characterize the dorsal ulnar corner fragment with regard to size and morphology using 3-dimensional software and computed tomography (CT) scans, as it presents in low-energy intra-articular distal radius fractures occurring in the female postmenopausal population.Evaluating Outcomes Following Open Fractures of the Distal Radius
A paucity of evidence exists regarding the optimal treatment of open fractures of the distal radius. The purpose of this study was to compare short-term complication rates between various treatment options following open fractures of the distal radius.
