Fractures of the distal radius can be treated with below-elbow or above-elbow casts, however below-elbow casts may be associated with better radiological outcomes, based on results of a prospective ...

Children with distal radius fractures face some of the same complications as adults, including malunion, compartment syndrome and acute carpal tunnel syndrome, but these complications are much rarer.

PARIS, France—When it comes to reducing the risk of radial artery occlusion (RAO), there is no significant advantage to using the relatively novel distal radial approach over conventional radial ...

PHOENIX, AZ—Patients who undergo cardiac catheterization with distal radial artery access have similar grip strength and other measures of hand function at 1 year as patients who had conventional ...

Background: Up to 30% of patients suffer from long-term functional restrictions following conservative treatment of distal radius fractures. Whether duration of cast immobilisation influences ...

A low-energy distal radius fracture may indicate that an individual will eventually develop potentially devastating osteoporotic fractures. Øyen et al. now report that one-third of men and one-half of ...

Fractures of the distal radius are among the most common of musculoskeletal injuries; they occur at a rate of approximately 2 such injuries per 1000 individuals per year. As with most fractures, there ...

This week we are going to start a series of commonly missed orthopedic injuries throughout the body. The first one we are going to discuss today is the DRUJ injury. The DRUJ injury is an injury of the ...

What is Distal Radius Fracture? The larger of the two bones of the forearm is known as radius. The end of the arm towards the wrist is called the distal end. When the area of the radius near the wrist ...

PARIS -- For coronary procedures, conventional radial access held up against a newer technique developed to reduce radial artery occlusion (RAO), according to the DISCO RADIAL investigators. They ...

ATLANTA -- Radial artery access for cardiac catheterization appeared similarly safe for the hand whether done proximally or distally, the randomized DIPRA trial showed. Overall change in 30-day hand ...
