EVALUATION OF RESULT TREATMENT OF THE GALEAZZI FRACTUREE DISLOCATION BY PLATE FIXATION
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: Reviews of clinical and X Quang features of Galeazzi fractures. Evaluation of results of treatment of the Galeazzi fracture by plate fixation. Subjects: 42 patients (30 males, 12 females), from 18 to 80 ages, average 37.3 ± 14.15; diagnosed with the Galeazzi fracture, were treated by Plate osteosynthesis at Military Hospital 103 from January 2018 to December 2021. Methods: Prospective, clinical trials without control group, sectional description and follow-up. Patients with surgical method by ORIF and open reduction and internal fixation of the radius and immobilization with above elbow cast in supination for 4-5 weeks. Results: Far result in 42 patients after surgery from 13 to 48 months were: 100% patients bon healing. excellent functional 90.47%, good 7.14%, fair 2.39%. Conclusions: The key point of treatment for Galeazzi fracture is to restore the length of the radius and maintain the results of correction of the distal radioulnar joint.
