Outcome of Distal radius fracture managed by MIPO - A case series

Abstract

Introduction: Various treatment options for management of distal radius fracture include close reduction and application of cast, K wire fixation, external fixator application and open reduction and plating. The current study is aimed to assess the outcome of distal end radius fracture managed by minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis by evaluation of clinical results, radiological features and functional outcome. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective study conducted in Orthopedics department of SGRRIMHS, Dehradun 80 patients were enrolled. Evaluation was done on the basis of clinico- radiological and functional assessment. The parameters were measured preoperatively and on 4, 12 and 24 weeks. Chi square test was used to compare proportions and T-test was used to compare means of groups. P-value
