Background and Objectives: Distal radius fractures, common in emergency rooms, exhibit a bimodal age distribution. Traditional treatments include manipulation, casting, and K-wires. Modern methods like JESS fixation and volar plating aim to restore alignment and early mobility. This study compares grip strength, a key recovery measure, between closed reduction and casting and open reduction with internal fixation (ORIF) after twelve months. Material and Methods: This observational study analyzed grip strength in 232 distal radius fracture patients who underwent closed reduction and casting or ORIF. Assessments were done twelve months post-intervention. Results: Statistical analysis (P > 0.05) revealed no significant difference in grip strength between ORIF and casting after twelve months, emphasizing grip strength's reliability in outcome assessment. Conclusion: This study demonstrates the equivalence of closed reduction and casting to ORIF for distal radius fractures, with grip strength as a dependable metric for functional recovery. Beyond grip strength, treatment decisions should consider other factors due to the lack of significant differences in this specific outcome measure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
