Wrist arthroscopic assisted Wristore external fixator for patients with Barton fractures
Objective To investigate the effect of wrist arthroscopic assisted Wristore external fixator for patients with Barton fractures.Methods A total of 100 patients with Barton fractures treated in Liaocheng Third People's Hospital from December 2019 to December 2022 were selected for the randomized controlled trial,and were divided into a control group and an observation group by the random number table method,with 50 cases in each group.There were 26 males and 24 females in the control group;they were(40.26±3.58)years old.There were 22 males and 28 females in the observation group;they were(43.55±2.44)years old.The control group took routine treatment;in addition,the observation group took wrist arthroscopy-assisted Wristore external fixation.The scores of Gartland-Werley wrist function and Visual Analogue Scale(VAS),joint mobility,and incidences of complications were compared between the two groups.tand x2 tests were applied.Results After the treatment,the score of Gartland-Werley wrist function in the observation group was lower than that in the control group[(5.29±0.61)vs.(12.42±2.90)],with a statistical difference(t=17.013;P<0.05).The scores of VAS 1 week and 1 month after the surgery in the observation group were lower than those in the control group[(3.24±1.16)vs.(6.88±1.33)and(1.45±0.94)vs.(4.63±1.11)],with statistical differences(t=14.585 and 15.459;both P<0.05).The joint mobility of the observation group was better than that of the control group[82%(41/50)vs.42%(21/50)],with a statistical difference(t=16.978;P<0.05).The incidence of complications in the observation group was lower than that in the control group[12%(6/50)vs.48%(24/50)],with a statistical difference(x2=15.429;P<0.05).Conclusion Wrist arthroscopy-assisted Wristore external fixation in the treatment of patients with Barton fractures is effective,and can significantly improve their wrist function,reduce their pain level,increase their joint mobility,and reduce the incidence of complications,so it is worth for widespread application in clinical practice.
