Clinical and imaging efficacy observation of closed reduction and plaster splint fixation in the treatment of ge-rontal patients with distal radius fractures

Objective To discuss the clinical efficacy of closed reduction and plaster splint fixation （ CRPSF） in the treatment of gerontal patients with distal radius fractures （ DRF） .Methods 76 elderly patients with DRF who treated by CRPSF were selected .According to AO classification of fractures ,the patients were divided into three groups,the A group had 27 cases;B group had 26 cases,C group had 23 cases.The treatment effect was evalua-ted by analyzing the follow-up data,the corresponding imaging measurement parameters and clinical scores .Results All patients had 12-month clinical and imaging follow-up.In the last follow-up, the arm-shoulder-hand dysfunction score and palmar angle ,ulnar deviation angle of A and B group were significantly better than those of C group , the differences were statistically significant（all P0.05）.In the last follow-up,the satisfaction score of C group was slightly lower than that of the A or B group,but had no statistically significant difference （P〉0.05）.Conclusion CRPSF in the treatment of gerontal pa-tients with DRF has good function and imaging effects ,and the improvement level has a certain relationship with the degree of fracture,but has no significant impact on the patients＇satisfaction.
