Description
An account of the resource
During a four-year period, we have treated unstable fractures of the distal radius with closed anatomic reduction and insertion of a Rush intramedullary rod through a small dorsoradial wrist incision, followed by early controlled range of motion. In an attempt to reduce the stiffness commonly seen in the fingers, wrist, and elbow, a simple method of more stable fixation and early motion was instituted. Patient assessment using common anatomic and functional classification systems revealed good to excellent results in 35 of 36 patients (98%). Only three patients had complications, and these were all minor in nature. Three rods were removed, all because of prominence and irritation of the tip of the rod over the radial styloid. The procedure is technically reproducible, and has a very high rate of patient acceptance and satisfaction.
