Colles’ fracture: two years follow-up. (results of conservative treatment)

Abstract

In 82 patients with fracture of distal methaepiphyseal bones of forearm treated conservatively X-ray, clinical and functional outcomes were assessed at mean 2.2 years follow-up after trauma. Anatomical relation ship in radiocarpal joint was shown to provide only partial restoration using hand reposition. In time achieved correction was lost. The highest influence on the clench strength was exerted by varies degrees of carpal instability that was noted in 26% of patients as well as distal radioulnari’s instability (43% of patients). The affect of slope augle of radius articular surface and degree of its shortening was unauthentic. The authors consider that Colles’ fracture to be taken as a complex injury of the wrist joint and thus the further development of treat ment technique is reqnired.
