Occupational therapy and Colles' fractures
CHRISTENSEN OM; KUNOV A; HANSEN F
INT ORTHOP , 2001, vol. 25, n° 1, p. 43-45 Doc n°: 100512 Localisation : Bibliothèque Universitaire de Médecine de Nancy Descripteurs : DD862 - TRAITEMENT DE REEDUCATION - MAIN-DOIGTS In this randomized trial, we enrolled 30 patients treated for a distal radius Colles' type fracture. The fractures were reduced if necessary and fixed in a below-elbow plaster cast for 5 weeks. One group consisting of 14 patients received instructions for shoulder; elbow and finger exercise and the other group consisting of 16 patients had occupational therapy. At 5 weeks, 3 and 9 months we measured the functional scores. There were no statistically significant differences between the groups at any time. It seems that for non-surgically treated patients with a distal radius fracture only instructions are necessary. Langue : ANGLAIS Identifiant basis : 2001216454 |
