Closed Fractures Tibial shaft fractures: Closed Reduction versus ORIF Expert

A classification for extraarticular distal radius fractures and indications for treatment. Expert

The indication to perform closed reduction could be a definitive treatment for an uncomplicated Colles wrist fracture. Closed reduction may be applied to more complicated fractures followed by a post-reduction re-assessment of the fracture configuration to decide if the fracture needs further treatment. Expert

There are several different types of external fixation. There is the transarticular external fixator with pins in the second metacarpal and pins in the radius. It can be either static or dynamic i.e. a locking ball-joint system which permits wrist mobilization midway through the treatment). There is also periarticular or non-bridging external fixation which joins pins inserted into both the distal and proximal radial fracture fragments while permitting complete motion of the wrist. Expert

when will cast treatment will most likely fail, when percutaneous pinning is sufficient alone, when percutaneous pinning requires supplementary external fixation, what kind of post-treatment function can patients expect. Expert
