Introduction: Distal radius fractures are one of the most common injuries which come to the orthopaedic surgeons. Displaced extra-or intra-articular fractures require anatomical reduction for a good outcome. Historically, these fractures were treated with manipulation and casting, with or without Kirschner (K) wire fixation. Modern plating techniques have been advocated to restore anatomical alignment and allow early mobilisation. Despite the wide variety of treatment options available there is still debate about the best way to treat these fractures. The aim of this study was to evaluate fifty cases of fracture distal end radius treated by open reduction and internal fixation using locking compression plating (LCP). Methods: The present study was carried out on 50 cases of acute fracture distal radius admitted at a tertiary care hospital treated by open reduction and internal fixation using locking compression plating (LCP) between January 2018 and December 2018. Functional results were rated at the end of the study as excellent, good or poor as criteria laid down by Gartland and Werley’s combined subjective and objective criteria. Results: 50 cases of fracture distal radius were selected for study that fulfill the inclusion criteria, were operated and studied. 10 fractures were fixed using Extra-articular Locking Compression T-Plates, 40 fractures were fixed using Juxtaarticular Locking Compression T-Plates. According to the Gartland and Werley’s rating scale, 20 had excellent results, 23 good results, and 07 fair results during latest follow up. Conclusion: Notwithstanding a very small sample size and a short follow up, Volar locking plate osteosynthesis at the distal radius signifies a significant improvement in the treatment of distal radial fractures in terms of restoration of the shape and function of the wrist.

Background Optimal treatment of displaced proximal humeral fractures is controversial. This retrospective study aims to identify complications and clinical outcomes using a locking plate with smooth pegs instead of screws (S3 plate). Method Eighty-two patients with displaced proximal humeral fracture classified with 2–4 fragments (Neer’s classification) treated with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) with S3 plate were studied retrospectively. Clinical outcome according to constant score; Single Shoulder Value; Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder and Hand; and European Quality of life-5 dimensions and complication rate defined radiologically including peg penetration, avascular necrosis, and loss of reduction was assessed minimum 2.5 years after surgery. Results A total of 11 peg penetrations were identified (13.6%). Avascular necrosis was seen in 8.5% (n = 7). Mean constant score at follow-up was 64.4 with a relative constant score of 87% (standard deviation 18%) compared to the contralateral uninjured side. The mean Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder and Hand score was 12.7 and mean European Quality of life-5 dimensions score 0.83. The mean Single Shoulder Value was 78.3. No cases of deep infection were seen. Conclusions Fixation with S3 plate shows a proper osteosynthesis and the functional outcome is good. Symptomatic peg penetrations are rare and the incidence is lower compared to what has been reported with locked screws.

ObjectiveThis study was performed to investigate the clinical effects of minimally invasive open reduction and internal fixation with a proximal femoral hollow locking plate on Pauwels type III femoral neck fractures.MethodsThe clinical data of 45 patients aged 32.0 ± 8.1 years (range, 19–45 years) with Pauwels type III femoral neck fractures treated from March 2012 to August 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent anterolateral minimally invasive open reduction and proximal femoral hollow locking plate fixation of the hip joint. Garden’s index was used to evaluate the quality of fracture reduction. Complications and fracture healing were recorded in all patients. At the last follow-up, the functional outcome was recorded using the Harris hip score.ResultsNo complications such as femoral neck shortening, internal fixation loosening, or refracture occurred. However, three patients required reoperation (one with nonunion and two with femoral head necrosis). At the last follow-up, the mean Harris hip score was 92.1 ± 4.5 (range, 76–98). The rate of excellent and good Harris hip scores was 93.3%.ConclusionThe herein-described strategy for Pauwels type III femoral neck fractures is advantageous in terms of high reduction quality, firm fixation, and prevention of neck shortening.
