AO Locking Fixation System for the Treatment of Unstable Distal Radius Fractures

Objective:To analyze investigate the therapeutic effects of AO locking fixation system for treatment of unstable distal radius fractures. Method:In our hospital from March 2011 to May 2012,84 cases of unstable distal radius fractures in patients with clinical data were retrospectively analyzed and divided into a treatment group and the control group,depending on the treatment,42 cases in each group.The treatment group were treated with the new AO locking fixation system,the control group used traditional manual reduction treatment,patient outcomes and the total effective rate were compared.Result:AO locking fixation system method excellent rate of treatment group was significantly superior rate than traditional practices reset the control group,the therapeutic effect of the treatment group excellent:15 cases,the treatment effect was benign:20 cases,the treatment effect was acceptable:6 cases. treatment was poor,the total treatment effect was 83.3%;the control group,the treatment effect was excellent:10 cases, good treatment effect:16 cases,the treatment effect was acceptable:14 cases,the treatment was poor:two cases,the total treatment effect good rate was 61.9%. Data compared between the two groups had a significant difference(P 0.05).The function evaluation basis Aro distal radius fractures, fracture treatment effect of the treatment group was significantly better than the control group. Patients after surgery were infection,fracture healing in good condition;review of X-ray showed that all patients with fractures were bone union,did not appear within loosening nerve irritation.Conclusion:AO locking fixation system for treatment in the treatment of unstable distal radius fractures have significant efficacy,patients satisfaction,postoperative bone healing fracture reduction and internal fixation results.
