Don’t Make This Wrist Fracture Mistake⁉️ #shorts
Показать описание
Distal radius (wrist) fractures are the most common fracture of the upper extremity. #WristFractures happen in all patient populations and are the most common orthopedic injury with a bimodal distribution. More than 450,000 #wrist fractures occur annually in the US, and that number continues to rise. Fractures of the distal radius represent ~1/6 of all fractures treated EDs. Younger patients tend to be involved in higher energy trauma mechanisms, whereas older patients tend to be involved with lower energy falls.
Wrist Fracture complications can include:
- Median Nerve Neuropathy (Carpal Tunnel Syndrome): Most frequent neurologic complication, 1-12% of low-energy fractures and up to 30% of high-energy fractures
- Extensor Pollicus Longus Tendon Rupture: Nondisplaced distal radius higher rate of spontaneous tendon rupture
- Radiocarpal Arthrosis: up to 90% of young adults will develop symptomatic arthrosis if articular step-off is greater than 1-2 mm
- Malunion and nonunion
- Compartment Syndrome
- Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
.
Wrist Fracture Rehabilitation:
Postoperative care for open-reduction internal fixation with volar plating includes immediate volar splinting following surgery. The patient is instructed to perform active range of motion exercises for the digits and elevate their wrist above heart level to prevent stiffness and aid in edema control. Splint is removed 1-2 weeks after surgery for wound check. Removable splint should be fabricated by a hand therapist to help with edema and worn at all times to protect fracture fixation. Patient should remain non-weight bearing of the upper extremity but may begin active range of motion exercises of the wrist after the first post-operative visit. At 4-6 wks putty and grip exercises may be added. At 6-8 wks, the splint is discontinued, and progressive strengthening exercises are advanced. Most patient are released to activities as tolerated at 10-12 wks #brokenwrist
