Abstract

Primary goal of treatment of intra articular distal end radius fracture is anatomical reduction, stable fixation and early functional recovery. There multiple options for treatment of distal end radius fracture like ORIF with volar plating, external fixator and CRIF with K wire. CRIF with K wire is comparatively less technically demanding, less invasive, less time consuming and economically cheaper option for treatment of distal end radius fractures in a rural setup where most of the patients are below poverty line. 22 patients with age above 18 years sustaining intra articular distal end radius fracture were treated using CRIF with K wire. The functional and radiological outcomes were measured using Gartland Werley score and Sarmiento’s modification of lindstorm criteria respectively. 54.55% patients had excellent outcome, 36.36% patients had good outcome, 9.09% patients had fair outcome and none of the patient had poor outcome as per Gartland Werley score. 40.91% patients had excellent outcome, 45.45% patients had good outcome, 13.64% patients had fair outcome and none of the patient had poor outcome as per Sarmiento’s modification of lindstorm criteria. CRIF with K wire is an effective method for fixation of intra articular distal end radius fracture.
