“…Of these, 240 were treated using FTT and 243 using MT. Median ages were comparable between studies although range was not specified in Holkenborg et al 7 and inclusion period was not mentioned in Kongsholm et al 8 Female gender was highly predominant across studies, although this was lower in Earnshaw et al 14 than the other studies ( Table 1 ).…”

“…In Earnshaw et al, 14 radiographic outcomes were only reported graphically and were measured digitally to approximate numerical values. For the sake of comparison, the radial lengths in Kongsholm et al 8 and Holkenborg et al 7 were converted to radial shortening using the original reference. 15 Any disagreement regarding inclusion of an article was resolved by discussion or input from a third co-author (BV).…”

Closed reduction of distal radius fractures: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Distal radius fractures (DRF) are a common injury, especially in the elderly.Displaced fractures can be reduced by closed reduction through several techniques, two of which are compared in this systematic review and meta-analysis.Closed reduction by finger-trap traction (FTT) seems to offer better correction of radial shortening. Additionally, there may be less pain and fewer complications associated with this technique.Closed reduction by manual traction seems to offer better correction of the dorsal tilt.Further research is needed to fully determine the optimal method of closed reduction.Cite this article: EFORT Open Rev 2018;3:114-120.DOI: 10.1302/2058-5241.3.170063

“…The finger trap is a medical device that is widely used in patients with bone and joint diseases, and especially for treatment of distal radius fractures. 1 The method of use is to suspend the patient's arm using a finger trap and to disimpact the fracture by applying weight to the elbow followed by reduction and immobilization. A finger trap can also be used in some types of hand and wrist surgery such as wrist arthroscopy.…”

Objective: The Chinese finger trap is a device used to aid in reduction of fractures, especially in distal end of radius fractures. The stainless steel finger trap is widely used but often causes fingers pain. We adapted a bamboo finger trap to reduce pain and also provide a lower cost alternative.Material and Methods: This was a cross-over study in healthy volunteers comparing bamboo and stainless-steel finger traps. Each participant underwent two tests, one with the stainless steel finger trap and another with the bamboo finger trap. For each trial, the participant lay supine on a bed, and the finger trap was attached to the index and middle fingers of the participant, with the arm suspended by a metal loop at the top of the trap to the elbow level of the patient on the bed. Weights were incrementally added to a weight bag suspended by a strap over the patient’s upper arm at one pound per minute until a maximum weight of 20 lbs. and the participant was asked to rate the degree of discomfort with the increasing weights using a visual analogue score (VAS)Results: Thirty volunteers were tested, all of whom were tested with both the bamboo and stainless steel traction devices. One patient developed a superficial skin injury while the stainless steel device was being applied. Overall, the bamboo finger trap group had lower VAS scores than the stainless steel group in the first fifteen minutes (p-value< 0.001).Conclusion: The bamboo finger trap is an effective alternative to the stainless steel finger trap, causing less pain.
