Objective To investigate the effect of locking plate in the treatment of distal radius fracture.Methods The 16 cases of distal radius fractures were treated with locking plate.The operation status,fracture healing,postopera-tive complications and wrist motion range were recorded.Gartland-Werley score criterion was used to evaluate wrist function.Results The operation time was 30～50(42.8±6.7)min,the intraoperative blood loss was 10～30(17.6±7.4)ml,and the hospitalization time was 3～6(4.5±1.2)d.All patients were followed up for 12～15(13.2±0.9)months.The time of callus formation was 1～3 months,and healing time was 4～6 months.There were no complications such as infection,nonunion,internal fixation loosening,carpal tunnel syndrome and median neuritis.At 6 months postoperation,wrist motion:palmar flexion was 30°～45°(38.8°±5.2°),dorsiflexion was 35°～45°(40.5°±4.1°),radial declination was 10°～25°(15.3°±2.8°),ulnar declination was 10°～20°(15.7°±3.2°).The wrist function assessed with Gartland-Werley score criterion:excellent in 12 cases,good in 2,fair in 1,poor in 1,the excellent-good rate was 14/16.Conclusions The use of locking plate in the treatment of distal radius fracture can significantly restore the wrist function,with reliable fixation,and fewer complications.
