Study of occurence of fracture of distal radius in Indian adult population

Abstract Background The identification of existing rehabilitation interventions and related evidence represents a crucial step along the development of the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Package of Interventions for Rehabilitation (PIR). The methods for such identification have been developed by the WHO Rehabilitation Programme and Cochrane Rehabilitation under the guidance of the WHO’s Guideline Review Committee secretariat. The aim of this paper is to report on the results of the systematic search for clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) relevant to the rehabilitation of adults with fractures and to present the current state of evidence available from the identified CPGs. Methods This paper is part of the Best Evidence for Rehabilitation (be4rehab) series, developed according to the methodology presented in the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Package of Interventions for Rehabilitation (PIR) introductory paper. It is a systematic review of existing CPGs on fractures in adult population published from 2009 to 2019. Results We identified 23 relevant CPGs after title and abstract screening. According to inclusion/exclusion criteria, we selected 13 CPGs. After checking for quality, publication time, multiprofessionality, and comprehensiveness, we finally included five CPGs dealing with rehabilitative management of fractures in adult population, two CPGs addressing treatment of distal radius fracture and three the treatment of femoral/hip fracture. Conclusion The selected CPGs on management of distal radius and femoral/hip fracture include few recommendations regarding rehabilitation, with overall low to very low quality of evidence and weak/conditional strength of recommendation. Moreover, several gaps in specific rehabilitative topics occur. Further high-quality trials are required to upgrade the quality of the available evidence. Level of evidence Level 1.

Fracture Of Distal Radius

Background: There are some therapeutic choices in non-displaced extra-articular fracture of distal radius that confront with some controversy in their selection. We tried to study these two methods in this article. Methods: This was a prospective randomized clinical trial conducted on the patients (n=62) with NDEA fracture of distal radius, during 2015. The patients were randomly assigned to casting (n-32) or bandage (n=30) group to receive the respective fracture healing procedure. The patients were followed-up at the first, second, third, and sixth weeks after the treatment. The Disabilities of the DASH and the VAS questionnaire were completed. All patients underwent an X-ray radiographic assessment to evaluate any potential complication. Results: At the end of the study, in the bandage and casting group 30 and 32 patients finished the study. The statistical analyses showed that the bandage group showed significantly higher mean DASH score than the casting group at the first week, but for the second week the difference decreased so that for the third week, the casting group showed significantly higher value than the bandage group. Finally, at the sixth week the two groups showed no significant difference in the DASH value. The two groups showed no significant differences in the VAS scores for all follow up assessments. The returning time to work was shorter in the bandage group and the treatment cost was also lower in this group. Conclusion: Bandage is more appropriate treatment option for the NDEA fractures of distal radius.

Fracture Of Distal Radius

Background There is controversy about the appropriate treatment for severely displaced and unstable comminuted fracture of distal radius (type C of AO or OTA classification). Recently, there has been an increase in the number of predilection for surgical management of this fracture. Aim To determine the radiographic outcome in type C fractures of the distal radius treated with closed reduction and pin in plaster. Materials and Methods Eighty consecutive patients 60 male and 20 female, average age 40 years (22–60 years), with type C fractures of the distal radius seen between February 2001 and July 2003 in Shahid Kamiab Hospital of Mashad University, were treated by closed reduction and pin in plaster, followed up by anteroposterior and lateral radiographs to evaluate radial height, inclination and volar tilt. Results There was significant improvement in the measurements of radial height, inclination and volar tilt after closed reduction and pin in plaster, and at the time the pins and plaster were removed. (P = 0.00). Conclusion Closed reduction and pin in plaster is an effective, simple and low cost method in type C fractures of distal radius with satisfactory outcome.
