Abstract
It was determined to compare two of the most widely used treatment modalities since distal radius fractures are the most common fractures of the upper extremities and there are no clear criteria for the manner of intervention. This study compared the functional result at a substantial follow‐up period of a group of patients who had extra‐articular lower end radius fractures treated with volar plating and percutaneous wiring. To assess and compare the final outcome in various fracture pattern of fracture of distal end radius managed by percuteneous pinning and volar locking plate. The present study was a Prospective observational study. This Study was conducted from January 2021 to June 22 at Department of KPC Medical College, Jadavpur, Kolkata. Total 40 patients were included in this study. In k wire, 1 (5.3%) patient had Bony prominance at fracture site 1 (5.3%) patient had 0‐10 Ulner deviation at 12 months, 1 (5.3%) patient had Bony prominance in latarel aspect, 13(68.4%) patients had Nothing Significant, 3(15 .8%) patients had Pin tract infection. In Locking Plate, 1 (4.8%) patient had Flexor tenosinovitisat wrist 13 (68.4%) patients had Nothing Significant,1(4.8%) patient had Plate Prominance. Association of Ulner deviation at 12 months with Group was not statistically significant (p=0.1709). In conclusion, For patients with skeletal maturity, volar locking plate fixation and percutaneous pinning are both effective treatments for extra‐articular lower end radius fractures. Every method, though, has unique benefits and drawbacks. Although percutaneous pinning is less intrusive and might result in quicker recovery periods, it could not give as much stability in cases of comminuted fractures. On the other hand, the volar locking plate offers additional stability, particularly in more complicated fractures and may lead to improved functional results as well as a quicker recovery of wrist mobility. To attain the best results, the course of therapy should ultimately be customized, taking into consideration the unique features of the fracture, the patient's circumstances and the surgeon's experience.
