“…7 Carpal malalignment is associated with poorer recovery of grip strength and range of movement, 22 whereas a scapholunate angle of >25º is associated with poor outcome. 28 In our study, both residual dorsal angulation and carpal alignment were independent risk factors for poor outcome. Positive ulnar variance is associated with pain, 29 weak grip strength, 30 increased risk of arthrosis in the long term, 19 and poorer functional outcome.…”

Purpose. To identify factors that affect functional outcome one year after distal radial fracture treatment. Methods. 521 women and 121 men aged 16 to 92 (mean, 59) years with distal radial fractures underwent external fixation (n=123), open reduction and internal fixation (n=63), a combination of both (n=10), distal radial osteotomy for symptomatic malunion (n=90), or casting with (n=194) or without (n=162) prior closed manipulation under regional anaesthesia. The indication for surgery (rather than casting) was metaphyseal instability. Radiographic evaluation (dorsal angulation, radial shortening, carpal malalignment, and malunion) was made before and after treatment and after fracture healing. Functional evaluation (range of movement, grip strength, and activities of daily living) was made at a mean of 16 (range, 6-54) months after injury. Results. After multiple regression analysis, poorer functional score was associated with increasing age (p<0.001), dorsal angulation after healing (p<0.016),

“…Treatment outcomes are not uniformly good irrespective of the treatment modality. Number of studies have proved that there is a strong relationship between the quality of anatomical reconstruction and long term functional outcome [13][14][15][16][17][18][19].…”
