[Our corrective osteotomy for radius fractures healed in defective position at the typical spot].
Authors give literary survey about correction possibilities of Colles fractures healed in failed position. In their paper the procedure of their clinic reviewed: with oscillating saw a wedge is removed from the radius on place of the failed fracture and so the normal angles of the radiocarpal joint can be restored. But at the same time the ulna must also be shortened with removal of a segment from the distal part. Both bones will be fixed laterally with ASIF semi-tubular plates. Results were evaluated with the McBride point system. From 23 cases 22 were available for follow up examination. 8 cases were "excellent", 13 "good", 1 "fair". There was no "bad" among the cases. Our favourable results support advantages of this method.
