Treatment of fractures of the radius
Radius fractures are among the most common limb injuries. They are most often caused by falling on an outstretched arm. Such fractures require timely treatment to restore the function of the upper limb.
Radius is one of the two main bones in the forearm that plays an essential role in arm and wrist mobility. Fractures can cause significant pain, swelling and loss of hand function.
Osteosynthesis accurately restores the anatomical structure and function of the bone, which is essential to prevent long-term complications and disability. Biocompatible fixation materials minimize the risk of rejection and other complications. The surgery is performed using minimally invasive techniques, which reduces trauma and accelerates the recovery process. Most patients can begin rehabilitation exercises in the first few days after surgery under the supervision of a specialized physician.
Common blood and urine tests. Coagulogram ( blood clotting assessment). Electrocardiogram (ECG). X-ray or computed tomography (CT) scan of the radius bone.
Plain fracture with no bone fragment displacement is treated nonsurgically. The arm is fixed for about a month and a half with a plaster cast or brace to ensure proper fusion of the bones. In cases of displaced bone fragments or complex fractures, it is necessary to undergo surgical intervention - osteosynthesis. The surgeon restores the anatomical structure of the bone and fixes the bone fragments with steel components such as plates, screws, pins or rods. The most complicated cases require external fixation devices to rehabilitate the arm.
X-ray equipment for intraoperative monitoring. Steel retainer set (plates, screws, pins). Instruments for preparing and installing retainers.
Bone fusion usually takes a month and a half; full recovery can take up to six months based on the age and characteristics of the patient. After the fraction has been treated, the patient is prescribed therapeutic exercises. After that, in order to restore the arm's range of motion, it is necessary to undergo a rehabilitation program prescribed by a rehabilitation physician. This program is selected individually and may include exercise therapy, physical therapy and massage.
