Dr. Bandre Sharukh, Dr. Sadhu Suresh Babu, Dr. Bhaskara Rao T

Abstract: Introduction: Fractures of distal radius are the most common fractures of upper limb constituting around 17%of all fractures and 75%of all forearm fractures. Among the causes of distal radius fractures, colles fracture is the most common cause. These fractures are treated by variety of techniques like manipulation and pop casing, percutaneous pinning, external fixation and plating. Present study compares functional outcome of intra articular distal radius fractures treated with percutaneous pinning and plating. Materials and Methods: The present study was carried out in department of orthopaedics, Narayana medical college, Nellore, for a period of 1 year from july2022 to June 2023. 40 patients participated in this study. 26 patients underwent plating and 14 patients underwent k wiring. Follow up was done at 3,6,12 weeks following surgery. Functional outcome was evaluated using modified mayo wrist score and DASH evaluation questionnaire. Results: In the present study patients treated with plating have better functional outcomes than those treated with percutaneous pinning. Functional outcomes were assessed using MAYO and DASH score.

Keywords: Colles fracture, plating, k-wiring, mayo score, dash questionnaire
