About

To study the effects of ulnar styloid and sigmoid notch fractures on postoperative wrist function in patients with distal radius fracture

Full description

Patients treated for distal radius fracture in the Department of Orthopedic Trauma at the People's Hospital of Peking University will be selected for outpatient follow-up. Evaluation was based on Sartiento's modification of the Gartland and Werley score. Efficacy was assessed with wrist pain as the focus.The follow-up time is one year after the operation。

Enrollment: 139 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

2. distal radius fracture repaired by internal fixation using a palmar plate
3. age of ≥18 years
4. integral clinical data, a postoperative follow-up period of ≥12 months
5. distal radius fracture with normal union
6. provision of informed consent after receiving an explanation of the purpose of this study

Exclusion criteria

1. old fracture, pathological fracture, open fracture
2. bilateral distal radius fracture
3. fracture of other parts of the wrist (excluding the ulnar styloid)
