The Effect of Intraoperative Brachioradialis Release on Radiological and Functional Outcomes in Distal Radius Fractures: Long-Term Results
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Brachioradialis release and Brachioradialis not released for Distal Radius Fractures and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 124 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Distal radius fractures are increasingly common, necessitating surgical intervention in many cases for optimal outcomes. Volar plate fixation has emerged as a preferred surgical method due to its effectiveness in promoting faster healing. However, challenges persist in achieving anatomical reduction, particularly concerning the styloid process, where the brachioradialis muscle insertion complicates the procedure. This study explores the impact of intraoperative brachioradialis release on wrist and elbow functions in distal radius fractures.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
During distal radius fracture surgery (open reduction+internal fixation) partial brachioradialis release from the insertion of brachioradialis muscle was performed in order to perform reduction of fracture
During distal radius fracture surgery (open reduction+internal fixation) brachioradialis release was not performed.
