Introdução: As fraturas da extremidade distal do rádio representam uma das fraturas mais comuns. Diversos fatores descritos na literatura influenciam nos seus resultados após manejo cirúrgico; como a fragmentação articular, a restauração cirúrgica da anatomia do rádio, a reabilitação pós-operatória, entre outros. Objetivo: analisar o resultado funcional dos pacientes operados de fraturas articulares completas da extremidade distal do rádio e correlacionar estes resultados com os parâmetros radiológicos comumente utilizados. Métodos: 18 pacientes entre 18 a 65 anos, submetidos ao tratamento cirúrgico das fraturas do rádio distal do tipo AO 23C, no período de janeiro de 2014 a julho de 2016. Os seguintes parâmetros clínicos e radiográficos foram avaliados e submetidos a análise estatística: ADM (amplitude de movimento) do punho e antebraço, força de pinças e de preensão, PRWE (Patient Rated Wrist Evaluation), classificação AO da fratura e parâmetros radiográficos pós-operatórios. Resultados: A análise de regressão linear mostrou correlação estatisticamente significativa considerando a inclinação radial e o desvio ulnar. Conclusão: Correlação estatisticamente significativa entre os parâmetros radiográficos e resultados funcionais é de difícil determinação. Novos estudos com maior amostragem e que correlacionem os parâmetros radiográficos e idade são necessários para melhor estudo do tema abordado.Descritores: Fraturas do Rádio; Traumatismos do Punho; Fraturas Intra-Articulares.ReferênciasCourt-Brown CM, Caesar B.

Abstract Background The importance of the dorsal ulnar fragment (DUF) for stability and articular congruence of the radius is widely recognized, and standard surgical techniques often fail to ensure its reduction. Description of Technique We describe a modification of volar wrist portals for arthroscopic management of the DUF of the distal radius. It is made in an outside-in fashion in line with the flexor carpi radialis (FCR) approach for the distal radius. Through this volar portal, we achieve wide and direct visualization of the DUF, with the advantage of protecting important anatomic structures such as the FCR tendon, the radial artery, and the median nerve; all protected with the previously made volar approach for the distal radius. In addition, easy manipulation and reduction of the DUF is obtained with instrumentation through standard dorsal portals. Patients and Methods We performed this procedure in 23 patients with distal radius fractures (DRF) with displaced DUF. Results Early and late postoperative evaluation demonstrated intraoperative reduction maintenance and adequate range of motion, compatible with the usual findings of standard volar plating, with the benefit of anatomic reduction of the DUF. Conclusion With our technique, volar plating associated with arthroscopy-assisted dorsal fragment specific fixation with dorsal standard and the FCR portals permits optimal surgical treatment of most DRFs.
