Interventions
this tendon was reflected approximately 10 cm proximal to its distal insertion into the radial metaphysis for soft-
tissue coverage over the plate. The operation was performed on the fracture through an incision on the radial aspect and was reduced by direct manipulation,
under visual and as well as a fluoroscopic guide. All patients were provided standardized follow-
up care,
including instructions for immediately beginning the move the fingers,
a volar splint for the patient’s comfort,
and hand therapy that included wrist motion and strengthening exercises. This care began at the tenth to fourteenth day after surgery. Some additional therapies were done,
such as cancellous bone allograft filling of a metaphyseal space and/or insertion of buttress plates,
based on the surgeon’s request. Pins also were inserted,
A plate was inserted on the radial column through an approximately 8-
cm incision in the forearm,
from the tip of the radial styloid to the proximal. In order to reduce the deforming forces of the brachioradialis on the distal fracture fragment and also on the usage of the brachioradialis tendon&#
and all external fixators were removed during the fifth or sixth week after surgery. Hand strengthening and wrist range of motion exercises were initiated at the same time.,The external fixators were
with a pin ,
under fluoroscopic guide.
