UNASSIGNED: This study investigated the outcomes of @entity174 and @entity7334 stabilized with a novel threaded cannulated device. This was a retrospective study of 24 distal radius fractures treated with the T- @entity7894 device (Union Surgical LLC, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania), with a minimum of 1 year of postoperative follow-up. Outcome data included wrist range of motion, grip strength, and pinch strength. Radiographs were analyzed to determine volar tilt and radial height. At final follow-up, @entity1 completed the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire. At an average of 2 years after surgery (range, 1-4 years), flexion was 89%, extension was 96%, supination was 99%, and pronation was 100% of contralateral wrist motion. Grip strength was 93% (range, 40%-137%) and lateral pinch strength was 99% (range, 48%-130%) of the contralateral upper extremity. The average final DASH score was 4.4 (range, 0-35). One @entity1 lost 6 mm of radial height from the initial postoperative radiograph to the final follow-up radiograph. One @entity1 elected to have the quiescent threaded pins removed, and 1 @entity1 had tenderness with wrist range of motion that resolved after @entity7894 removal. After hardware removal, neither @entity1 had further symptoms. No postoperative soft tissue complications occurred, and this was an expected benefit of the minimally invasive approach and intramedullary placement of the device. The stability of fixation allows @entity1 to begin active range of motion early in the postoperative course. The threaded @entity7894 offers reliable @entity174 fixation for the treatment of extra-articular and simple articular distal radius fractures. [Orthopedics. 2016; 39(1):e98-e103.].
