Abstract

Objective To investigate the clinical curative effect of distal radius fracture in the elderly by the minimally invasive locking compression plate.    Methods   30  cases of distal radius fracture in the elderly treated by LCP using the minimally invasive technique through the volar approach in our hospital from January 2008 to January 2013 were retrospectively analyzed.  According to the AO/ASIF classification: there were 3 cases of A2 type, 5 cases of A3 type, 5 cases of  B1 type, 6 cases of B3 type, 6 cases of C1 type and 5 cases of C2 type.   Results    25 patients were followed up for an average of 12 months (8~14 months) postoperatively. It turned out 1 case developed the carpal tunnel syndrome,1 case developed thenar eminencet myoparalysis, 1 case developed delayed healing of the wrist incision.  postoperative symptoms disappeared in 3 months. No non-union of the radius fracture was found. According to Mcbride’s modified evaluation criteria: 18 cases were excellent,4 cases good,3 cases common, leading to a rate of excellence of being 88%. Conclusion    LCP treatment of the distal radius fracture in the elderly by minimally invasive through volar approach is mild in trauma  firm in fixation, and rare in complications. This method enables early functional exercise, making it a more ideal fixed method.
