Dr. S. Marimuthu, Dr. S. Karthikeyan
Abstract :
One of the most common injuries in postmenopausal and older women is osteoporotic fracture of the distal radius.In majority of cases, satisfactory reduction by casting is lost, resulting in a poor functional outcome. The present study was undertaken to assess the functional outcome of operative management of distal radial fractures in postmenopausal women by volar locking compression plate and assessing the functional outcome using modified mayo wrist score. The study was a prospective study with a sample size of 15 in numbers, conducted in the department of orthopaedics, Coimbatore medical college and hospital during the period 2011–2013. In our series, we had 46.6% excellent, 39.9% good, 13.3%, fair and no poor results. Its concluded that volar locking plate is a safe and effective treatment for undisplaced and displaced unstable fractures of distal end of radius in postmenopausal women.
