title: [Percutaneous transfixation in fractures of distal radius and evaluation of results.].
abstract: Authors evaluate results of fractures of distal radius in a group of patients who were treated with the method of percutaneous osteosynthesis by means of K-wires.Two systems were used in the evaluation. Using the Green and O'Brien evaluation system modified by Cooney excellent and good results were achieved in 54,2 % patients. On the basis of Gartland and Werley evaluation system specified by Sarmiento excellent and good results were achieved in 75 % patients. Authors point out the difference in the results caused by a greater strictness of the first evaluation system mentioned. Key words: fractures of distal radius, transfixation.
