Closed reduction and casting are the conventional non-operative treatment option available while plate fixation, external fixation and closed reduction with percutaneous pinning are a few surgical options available to the surgeon.Methods: A prospective comparative study of one year was conducted in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery. A total of 40 patients of distal radial fracture fulfilling the inclusion criteria and giving their consent for inclusion in the study were randomly allocated to either closed reduction (n = 20) or closed reduction with percutaneous K-wire (20). Patients were followed up to 6 months and radiological and functional outcome was compared between two groups.Results: On global assessment using Gartland and Werley criteria, median score of K-wire group was 7.5 which indicated that majority of patients had score <8, thus indicating a good outcome whereas in closed reduction cast group, median score was...

Most studies have reported on use of allografts in upper limb reconstructions following tumour resection. Aim: We conducted a prospective study to assess results of using bone allograft as an adjunct to internal fixation following trauma and its complications like Non-union, malunion etc. in Upper limb. Material and Methods: We have analyzed use of allografts in upper limb in 11 patients from November 2014 to March 2016. Results: A mean follow up of 12.3 months showed good functional results and radiological consolidation in 91% of cases. Radiological union was seen by 3 months in 8 patients and by 6 months in 2 patients. One case had non-union which required repeat bone grafting. There was no incidence of other complications or disease transmission. Conclusion: Our study has shown promising results with allograft with radiologically good ...
