Abstract:

BACKGROUND: It is not a difficult task to reset the distal radius using the distal radius fracture therapy, but there is not a method that can treat all kinds of distal radius fracture.
OBJECTIVE: To summarize the research progress of internal fixation of various implants for treatment of distal radius fracture.
METHODS: We retrieved PubMed Database for relevant articles published from January 2000 to December 2011. The key words were “distal radius fracture, implant material, biocompatibility”. The language was English. Simultaneously, we retrieved China National Knowledge Infrastructure for relevant articles published from January 2000 to December 2011. The key words were “distal radius fracture, implant material, biocompatibility”, and the language was Chinese. A total of 25 articles were included in accordance with inclusion criteria.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Intraarticular fractures of distal radius are hard to manage in the clinic in the department of orthopedics, especially complex intraarticular fracture. No matter which methods, the aim was to obtain a satisfactory functional recovery. Nevertheless, with the development of science and technology, there is not a method that can treat all kinds of distal radius fracture. Moreover, a treatment method cannot completely solve a certain distal radius fracture. Therefore, we should choose an optimal manner with a slight trauma to treat this kind of fracture. For some complex fractures, we should combine various methods to reset the distal radius and maintain the stability of the bone post surgery.
