Objective. The aim of this study to investigate the associations of fracture type, age, and gender with hand function after distal radius fractures treated with a volar locking plate at a 6-month follow-up. Material and Methods. A total of 120 patients with displaced distal radius fractures were included into the study. They were operated on using a volar locking plate system. All the fractures were classified according to the AO classification, and the patients were divided into 3 groups by the fracture type. The range of motion and grip strength were evaluated at the 6-month follow-up. Multivariate linear regression analysis was used to evaluate the associations of age, gender, and fracture type with the score of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire. The DASH questionnaire was completed as an outcome measure. Results. A total of 28 patients experienced type A fractures; 70 patients, type B fractures; and 22 patients, type C fractures. No statistically significant difference regarding age and sex among the groups was observed. At 6 months after the surgery, the mean DASH score for type A, B, and C fractures was 16, 13, and 32, respectively (P=0.01). After the surgery, the radiographic parameters such as the volar tilt and the ulnar variance were significantly worse in the patients with type C fractures. Grip strength and the range of motion of the contralateral healthy hand at the 6-month follow-up were significantly better than those of the operated hand. The linear regression analysis showed that the type C fracture was the only factor significantly associated with lower DASH score. Conclusions. The patients with type C fractures treated with a volar locking plate had a worse wrist function as compared with the patients type A and B fractures at the 6-month follow-up. The postoperative hand function was significantly associated only with the type C fracture, while age and gender had no significant impact.

Abstract Background Studies exploring risk factors for ankle fractures in adults are scarce, and with diverging conclusions. This study aims to investigate whether overweight, obesity and osteoporosis may be identified as risk factors for ankle fractures and ankle fracture subgroups according to the Danis-Weber (D-W) classification. Methods 108 patients ≥40 years with fracture of the lateral malleolus were included. Controls were 199 persons without a previous fracture history. Bone mineral density of the hips and spine was measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, and history of previous fracture, comorbidities, medication, physical activity, smoking habits, body mass index and nutritional factors were registered. Results Higher body mass index with increments of 5 gave an adjusted odds ratio (OR) of 1.30 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.03–1.64) for ankle fracture, and an adjusted OR of 1.96 (CI 0.99–4.41) for sustaining a D-W type B or C fracture compared to type A. Compared to patients with normal bone mineral density, the odds of ankle fracture in patients with osteoporosis was 1.53, but the 95% CI was wide (0.79–2.98). Patients with osteoporosis had reduced odds of sustaining a D-W fracture type B or C compared to type A (OR 0.18, CI 0.03–0.83). Conclusions Overweight increased the odds of ankle fractures and the odds of sustaining an ankle fracture with possible syndesmosis disruption and instability (D-W fracture type B or C) compared to the stable and more distal fibula fracture (D-W type A). Osteoporosis did not significantly increase the odds of ankle fractures, thus suffering an ankle fracture does not automatically warrant further osteoporosis assessment.
