Abstract

Background: Vast majority of fractures of distal radius are articular injuries that result in disruption of both radiocarpal and radioulnar joints. Therefore, this study evaluates the functional and radiological outcomes of distal radius fractures treated by percutaneous pinning in ulno-carpal joint and distal radius.
Methodology: A Prospective Interventional Study conducted at Department of Orthopaedics, N.S.C.B. Medical College and Hospital, Jabalpur (M.P.) with the study population of patients attending OPD and casualty diagnosed with distal Radius fracture from the duration of 1st March 2021 to 31st June 2022. Total of 50 Sample size was taken estimated through the formula n= z2*pq/d2. Data analysis was done through the IBM software SPSS and the statistical association was fund with the Confidence Interval of 95% and p-value>0.5.
Results: Total of 50 patients, 30 were male, and 20 were females, who were assessed through follow-up. According to Sarmiento score of range of motion, 6 Patients have excellent score (0-2), 12 patients have good score (3-8), 12 patients have fair (9-20), and 5 patients have poor (above 21).
Conclusion: Closed reduction and percutaneous K-wire fixation is a less intrusive, safer, and successful approach to preserve the reduction, avoid radial collapse during healing, and maintain DRUJ stability even when the fracture is extensively comminuted, intra-articular, or unstable.
