A Randomized study of Dynamic vs Static External Fixation of Distal Radial Fractures.
Pak J Med Health Sci Jan ;12(2):825-7.

Aim: To evaluate the treatment outcome of comminuted intra-articular fractures of distal radius with a dynamic external fixator and dynamic external fixator. Methods: This comparative study was carried out at King Abdullah Teaching Hospital, Mansehra from 1st June 2016 to 31st December 2016. A total of 60 patients in both groups were included in the study. Results: Out of the 60 patients, 43(71.7%) were male and 17 (28.3%) were female with the right hand 35(58.3%) and left hand 25 (41.7%). Conclusion: It is concluded that dynamic external fixator is a better method of treatment for the comminuted fractures of the distal radius than a dynamic external fixator because it allows early motion of tendons, muscles and adjacent joints and later, of the wrist itself while reduction and especially radial length were maintained in bridging external fixation.
