The purpose of this study was to develop plates that fit the contour of the distal radius of the Japanese and can be inserted less invasively. Three-dimensional models of 36 radii of 18 volunteers were prepared. Using these models, the shape of the cortical bone on the radial margin of the distal radius and just below the dorsal fourth compartment of the wrist, to which the plates were expected to be applied, was measured, and the curves of the plates were determined. The functions of approximated curves of the plates were: [ y = -2 × 10-8 x 5 - 2 × 10-6 x 4 + 0.0006 x 3 - 0.0312 x 2 + 0.3274 x + 15.224 on the radial margin of the distal radius and [ y = 7 × 10-7 x 5 - 0.0001 x 4 + 0.0078 x 3 - 0.2355 x 2 + 3.1815 x - 5.6383 just below the fourth compartment. The clinical results of the application of double dorsal plates were satisfactory in clinical cases for the distal radius fractures.

Abstract Purpose To evaluate the effect of three-dimensional virtual pre-operative planning (3DVP) on the incidence of dorsal screw penetration after volar plating of distal radius fractures. Methods A cross-sectional diagnostic imaging study was performed. Twenty out of 50 patients were randomly selected from our index prospective cohort (IPC): a prior study evaluating dorsal tangential views (DTVs) in reducing dorsal screw penetration in internal fixation of intra-articular distal radius fractures using post-operative CT scans to quantify screw protrusion. Pre-operative CTs from this cohort were now used for 3DVP by three experienced orthopaedic trauma surgeons (supplementary video). 3DVP was compared with the corresponding post-operative CT for assessing screw lengths and incidence of dorsal penetration. The Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test was used to compare screw lengths and the Fishers’ exact for incidence of penetration. Results Three surgeons performed 3DVP for 20 distal radius fractures and virtually applied 60 volar plates and 273 screws. Median screw length was shorter in the 3DVP when compared to IPC: 18 mm (range, 12–22) versus 20 mm (range, 14–26) (p < 0.001). The number of penetrating screws was 5% (13/273 screws) in the 3DVP group compared to 11% (10/91 screws) in the IPC (p = 0.047). Corresponding to a reduction in incidence of at least one dorsally penetrating screw in 40% of patients in the IPC group, to 18% in the 3DVP group (p = 0.069). Conclusion Three-Dimensional Virtual Pre-Operative Planning (3DVP) may reduce the incidence of dorsally penetrating screws in patients treated with volar plating for intra-articular distal radius fractures. Level of evidence II, diagnostic imaging study.

The Sauvé-Kapandji procedure in combination with an opening radial wedge osteotomy for malunion of distal radius fractures was performed in six patients. Follow-up at an average of 40.3 months showed two excellent, three good, and one poor result. Satisfactory results were obtained in restoration of forearm rotation and improvement of pain in all patients. The Sauvé-Kapandji procedure in addition to an opening radial wedge osteotomy was indicated when a preoperative limitation of forearm rotation with severe pain and radiographic evidence of degenerative changes in the distal radioulnar joint were present. We have found combining these two procedures to be a reliable treatment option for malunion of distal radius fractures.

Little information exists about three-dimensional (3-D) deformity patterns of malunited distal radius fractures including axial deformity. The current study aimed to clarify the 3-D deformity pattern of malunited distal radius fractures and reveal the influence of osseous deformities, including axial rotation deformity, on wrist and forearm motion. The deformity of 20 dorsally tilted malunions were evaluated using 3-D computer models created from CT data, and correlations between deformity components and range of motion were assessed. The 3-D deformity analysis showed that axial malalignment in pronation, which showed a correlation with the degree of radial tilt deformity, was very common. A radial tilt deformity of > 5° was observed in only 45% of cases. Although the range of wrist flexion and extension showed a correlation with dorsal tilt deformity, the range of forearm pronation and supination did not correlate with distal radius deformities.

Abstract Background The objective of this study was to predict the function of the forearm rotation on the basis of the articular surface of the sigmoid notch from three-dimensional reconstruction images. Methods We retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent volar plate fixation for intra-articular distal radius fractures (DRFs) in our institution between January 2017 and July 2019. The 3D image of the sigmoid notch on the fractured distal radius was reconstructed and looked up from the ulnar view to determine the existence of gaps or steps. Patients with or without gaps/steps on the sigmoid notch were included in the case group or control group, respectively. The patients’ basic data and postoperative data were collected and compared. Results A total of 81 patients were included. There were 33 patients in the case group, and 48 patients in the control group. There was no significant difference between the two groups at baseline. The total range of motion (ROM) of rotation in the case group and control group was 130.3 ± 6.2° and 145.3 ± 6.7°, respectively (P < 0.001). The percentage of rotation ROM of contralateral limb in the case group and control group was 72.3 ± 3.1% and 80.7 ± 3.6%, respectively (P < 0.001). VAS during forearm rotation was 2.1 ± 0.7 in the case group, which is significantly higher than that in the control group (1.5 ± 0.5, P < 0.001). Conclusion This study proposed a new method to assess the articular surface of the sigmoid notch which is based on 3D reconstruction images. With the assistance of this method, we found that gaps or steps on the sigmoid notch not only limit forearm pronation rotation and supination rotation, but also cause apparent wrist pain during forearm rotation movement and poor wrist ability.
