Abstract

A break in the distal radius is among the most common types of bone fractures. Present study was aimed to compare functional outcome, complications and time taken for fracture union of extra‐articular distal radius fractures treated with plaster immobilization versus percutaneous pinning. Present study was single‐center, Descriptive Cohort study, conducted in patients of both the genders with age between 40 years to 65 years with closed extra‐articular distal radius fracture, underwent treatment at our hospital, Treatment options were informed to the patient and selected randomly in plaster versus percutaneous pinning group. In present study, 52 patients were equally divided into two groups as Plaster immobilization and Percutaneous pinning. Mean age, gender and laterality were comparable among groups and difference was not significant statistically (p>0.05). Percutaneous pinning group has better VAS score compared to Plaster immobilization group at 3rd and 6th month and the association is statistically significant (p<0.05). Percutaneous pinning group has better SF36 score compared to Plaster immobilization group at 1st, 3rd and 6th month and the association is statistically significant (p<0.05). Mean fracture union time is better in Percutaneous pinning group compared to plaster immobilisation group and association is statistically significant (p<0.05). Functional outcome and Radiological outcome is better in percutaneous pinning compared to Plaster immobilization group and association is statistically significant (p<0.05). In management of extra‐articular distal radius fractures, percutaneous pinning group has better VAS score, better SF36 score, better fracture union time, Functional outcome and radiological outcome compared to Plaster immobilization group and the association is statistically significant.
