Main Article Content
Abstract
Materials and Methods: Between February 2018 and June 2020 we retrospectively evaluated patients with radiocarpal fracture-dislocations, which were classified into groups I and II according to Dumontier.Inclusion criteria: males and females over 18 years of age with closed or open radiocarpal fracture-dislocations with a minimum follow-up of 3 months. A clinical/imaging follow-up was carried out using radiographs, the DASH questionnaire (Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand), Modified Mayo Wrist Score, visual analog scale (VAS) and Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire Short Form (PSQ-18).
Results: Eight patients with nine lesions with an average follow-up of 8 months were evaluated. Lesions weregrouped into type 1 (4) and type II (5). All were surgically treated. According to the final values, outcomes were excellent in two cases, good/acceptable in six, and poor in one.
Conclusion: We believe that the best method for definitive treatment is surgical. The correct classification and study of the pathology will play a fundamental role in making therapeutic decisions.
