Isolated distal radius fractures in children

Year 1996, Volume: 30 Issue: 3, 278 - 281, 11.09.2006

Abstract

Isolated distal radius fractures (with or without a greenstick fracture of ulna) in children have a significant rate of loss of correction, if treated by manipulation and casting alone. This study included 52 patients (54 fractures) whose average age were 10.9 years and who were treated because of isolated fracture of distal radius (epiphyseal or metaphyseal) at the 3rd Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology of Ankara Numune Hospital. 50 patients were treated by manipulation and a long arm cast initially. Of these 50 patients, 3 (6%) had an initial inadequate reduction and 15 (30%) had a loss of position between 5 and 30 days after reduction. There were 16 males and 2 females with an average age of 12.3 years (7-15). Of these 18 patients, 15 were treated by open reduction and internal fixation, 2 by closed reduction and casting under general anesthesia and 1 by percutaneous Kirschner wiring. After an average follow-up of 10.5 months (3-18 months), all patients had satisfactory results both clinically and radiologically. In conclusion, isolated distal radius fracture in children are essentially unstable, and if manipulation and casting fails, closed or open reduction and fixation should be the choice of treatment.

Çocuklarda izole distal radius kırıkları

Abstract

Çocuk izote distal radius kırıkları (ulnada yeşil ağaç kırıklı veya kırıksız) manipülasyon ve alçıyla tedavi edildiğinde önemli oranda korreksiyon kaycı göstermekledir. Bu çalışma Ankara Numune Hastanesi 3. Ortopedi ve Travmatoloji Kliniğinde izole distal radius kırığı (epifizer veya metafizer) tanısıyla tedavi edilen ortala-ma yaşı 10.9 yıl olan 52 hastayı (54 kırık) içermektedir. 50 hasta başlangıçta manipülasyon ve uzun kol alçıyla tedavi edildiler. Bu hastaların 3 tanesinde [%6) başlangıçta yetersiz redaksiyon, 15 tanesinde ise (%30) redüksiyon sonrası 5-30 günlerde kayma vardı. 16 erkek, 2 kız hastanın ortalama yaşları 12.3 (7-15) yıldı. Bu 18 hastadan 15 tanesi açık redüksiyon internal fiksasyonla, 2 tanesi genel anestezi altında kapalı redüksiyon ve alçı ile. 1 tanesi perkütan Kirschner teli ile tedavi edildi. Ortalama 10.5 (3-18) ay sonrası tüm hastalarda ve radyolojik olarak yeterli sonuçlar elde edildi. Sonuç olarak, çocuk izole distal radius kırıkları önemli oranda instabildir ve manipülasyon ve alçılama başarısız olursa açık veya kapalı redüksiyonla birlikte fiksasyon seçilecek tedavi olmalıdır.
