Distal radius fracture

Joint-Articulating Surface Motion

e correlation between the pressure loading in the wrist and the progress of degenerative osteoarthritis associated with pathological conditions of the forearm was studied in a cadaveric model (Sato, 1995). Malunion aer distal radius fracture, tear of triangular brocartilage, and scapholunate dissociation were all responsible for the alteration of the articulating pressure across the wrist joint. Residual articular incongruity of the distal radius following intra-articular fracture has been correlated with early osteoarthritis. In an in vitro model, step-os of the distal radius articular incongruity were created. Mean contact stress was signicantly greater than the anatomically reduced case at only 3 mm of step-o (Anderson et al., 1996).

Medical Clinic, Emergency, or Hospital Reports: Drkulec and Letts (2001) found the most common injury mechanism was a fall onto an outstretch hand due to loss of balance (57%), and 88% of these falls resulted in distal radius fracture. This was followed by uncontrolled falls (36%) and collision with another person (4%).
