Description
Summary:Introduction: "Distal end radius fractures" account for almost 16% of all fractures and are the most common kind of upper limb fractures treated in hospital emergency departments. "Distal end radial fractures" occur more often in younger people due to high-energy trauma than in older people due to low-energy trauma. When comparing women and men of the same age, proximal end radii fracture are more prevalent in women than men owing to significant osteoporosis and a higher tendency for accidents in older women. Methodology: This was a prospective interventional study in which participants were divided in to two groups. Result and Conclusion: Both groups in the study had comparable range of motion, with the exception of the forearm", where the "variable angle volar locking plate" excelled. The risk of complications was low in both approaches. Thus we conclude that when it comes to treating "displaced intra-articular distal end radius" fractures, the variable angle volar locking plate is superior than the Ellis locking plate.
