Corrective osteotomy of malunited fractures of the distal end of the radius. 1985

F af Ekenstam, and C G Hagert, and O Engkvist, and A H Törnvall, and H Wilbrand

Thirty-nine patients with painful impaired forearm rotation and reduced grip strength after malunited fracture of the distal radius were treated with corrective osteotomy of the distal radius, bone grafting and internal fixation and followed for an average of 1.5 years. All patients stated that they were improved by the procedure. At follow-up 36 patients were graded as excellent or good, implying no pain, moderate limitation of motion and grip strength not less than 70% of the uninjured hand. Two patients were graded as fair and one as poor. It is concluded that surgical correction of the deformity is a good procedure when treating disabilities in the distal radio ulnar joint following malunited fractures of the distal end of the radius.
