<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> <span lang="EN-IN">Distal radius fracture is one of the most common fractures. It may be sustained due to low-energy trauma or high-energy trauma. Objectives: To compare the clinical effectiveness of Kirschner wire fixation with and plaster immobilization for patients with fracture of the distal radius.</span></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> <span lang="EN-IN">Interventions Kirschner wire fixation: wires are passed through the skin over the dorsal aspect of the distal radius and into the bone to hold the fracture in the correct anatomical position. About 79 patients with Distal Radial Fractures presented to MGM Medical College and LSK Hospital, Kishanganj between November 2012 and June 2014 were included in the study</span>.<strong></strong></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> <span lang="EN-IN">The majority were men (60.4%). Majority of the patients (69.8%) sustained the injury due to fall. The side of involvement was nearly equal and that there was no predominance of the either sides. In our study, according to AO classification, 31 cases were of Type A, 17 were of Type B and 5 were of Type C. The Anatomical evaluation by Sarmiento’s Criteria showed 33 patients with excellent result, 15 patients with good result and 5 with a fair result.

It is a<strong> </strong>suitable method for fixation of displaced Colles fracture with minimal intra-articular involvement. The technique involves a minimal procedure that provides anatomic reduction, fracture fixation, and maintenance of reduction with an adequate method of immobilization.</span></p>

Abstract Objective Closed reduction and percutaneous pinning (CRPP) is losing popularity as a treatment modality for distal radius fractures. However, in select cases, CRPP may have advantages relative to open reduction and internal reduction. We aimed to retrospectively assess the outcomes after CRPP for the treatment of distal radius fractures. Study Design This is a retrospective cohort study. Methods We used billing records to identify all skeletally mature patients with a distal radius fracture who were treated with CRPP by a single surgeon at a level I trauma center in an urban city in the United States. We assessed the medical charts and recorded demographics, trauma and treatment characteristics, radiographic characteristics, and outcomes. Results All patients had a good or excellent range of motion regarding forearm rotation, and almost 80% had good or excellent range of motion regarding flexion or extension of their wrist. One patient had a concern for pin tract infection, and one had subcutaneous migration of a pin, which were both treated by pin removal. Conclusion CRPP is a good option in patients with few and sizeable fracture fragments in patients with a distal radius fracture, and it should be considered as an effective tool to restore radiographic parameters and functional outcomes.
