Clinical Evaluation of Surgical and Conservative Treatment of Unstable Distal Radius Fractures
Objective To evaluate the effect of surgical and conservative treatment of unstable distal radius fractures.Methods 106 patients with unstable distal radius fractures treated in Jinsha County Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2021 to September 2023 were conveniently selected as the study objects.They were divided into two groups according to the random number table method,the control group(n=53)received conservative treat-ment,and the practice group(n=53)received surgical treatment.The wrist joint function,palmar inclination,ulnar de-viation,fracture healing time,treatment efficiency and complications were compared between the two groups.Results Before treatment,there was no significant difference in wrist joint function,palmar inclination angle and ulnar devia-tion angle between the two groups(all P>0.05);after treatment,the wrist joint function of the practice group was better than that of the comparison group,and the palmar inclination angle and ulnar deviation angle were greater than those of the comparison group,the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05).The fracture healing time of prac-tice group was shorter than that of comparison group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The ef-fective rate of the practice group was 98.11%,higher than that of the comparison group(84.91%),and the difference was statistically significant(χ2=4.371,P=0.037).The incidence of complications in practice group was lower than that in comparison group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Surgical treatment of un-stable distal radius fractures can improve the effective rate,improve the wrist joint function and ulnar angle,acceler-ate fracture healing,and have fewer complications.
