AAHS 2015: Intramedullary fixation vs. volar locking plate for distal radius fracture

Contributing Authors

A Ikram M Van Der Kaag

40 patients with a distal radius fracture have been included thus far in this randomized controlled trial comparing the effectiveness of the intramedullary fixation (with the Sonoma Wrx Distal Radius Nail) versus volar locking plate fixation. The purpose of this study was to compare the two techniques in terms of outcome in DASH score and radiological parameters, as well as surgical data (incision scar size, tourniquet time). Lower DASH score and smaller incision scar were associated with patients who have undergone intramedullary nailing, though results of significance testing were not reported within the conference abstract. Radiological outcome was reported to be similar between groups.
