Article Synopsis
- Distal radius fractures are common in older adults and often occur with ulnar styloid fractures, leading to concerns over treatment effectiveness, particularly regarding the risk of joint instability.
- A study analyzed 96 patients aged 80 and older with these fractures and found that those who underwent surgical intervention (ORIF) had significantly better functional scores after 12 months compared to those who received conservative treatment.
- The study concluded that surgical intervention improves wrist function in very old patients with distal radius fractures and accompanying ulnar styloid fractures, with treatment choice being a significant predictor of recovery outcomes.
: Femoral head fractures are rare injuries with or without traumatic dislocations. The management of these fractures is crucial to prevent the development of severe complications and to achieve optimal functional outcomes. Wide treatment options for Pipkin 1 femoral head fractures range from fragment excision, fixation following open reduction with internal fixation, or conservative treatment such as close reduction alone after fracture dislocation.
