BACKGROUND: @entity174 is common in all ages. Mobility and wrist function is important. The choice of treatment should aim for optimal function with minimal complications. OBJECTIVES: In this study we compared two surgical approaches, open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) and closed reduction with external fixation (CR + EF), for treatment of @entity7334 . @entity1 AND METHODS: Ninety-four @entity1 with distal radius fracture (type 3, 4 and 5 Fernandez classification) were treated with two surgical methods (ORIF and CR + EF); 55 were treated with CR + EF and 39 were treated with ORIF by different surgeons. All @entity1 were assessed at the end of the first, third and sixth week; and then after the third, sixth and 12(th) month. At the end of the follow-up, all @entity1 completed the Michigan hand outcome questionnaire (MHOQ). We compared radiological parameters of distal radius, range of motion (ROM) of the wrist, duration of rehabilitation, complication and @entity1 satisfaction of the methods. RESULTS: In our study, radiological findings for the ORIF group were radial inclination (RI): 19.35, radial length (RL): 10.35, @entity4542 ( @entity4542 ): 8.92, and ulnar variance (UV): 1.64, while for the CR + EF group these were RI: 15.13, RL: 8, @entity4542 : 4.78, and UV: 0.27. The ROM for ORIF were flexion/extension (F/E): 137, Radial/Ulnar deviation (R/U): 52, and Supination/Pronation (S/P): 141, while for the CR + EF group these were F/E: 117, R/U: 40 and S/P: 116. Michigan hand outcome score for ORIF was 75% and for Ext. fix was 60%. The rate of complication with the ORIF method was 58% and in Ext. fix this was 69%. The @entity1 in CR + EF had more than the ORIF course of physiotherapy and rehabilitation. CONCLUSIONS: In comparison of ORIF and CR + EF, all results including functional score, clinical and radiologic criteria were in favor of the ORIF method while there were less complications with this method. We believe that ORIF is a better method for treatment of these types of @entity174 .
