Current situation and consideration of small splint in the treatment of distal radius fracture complicated with ulnar styloid process fracture

摘要

Objective: The incidence of distal radius fracture combined with ulnar styloid process fractureis increasing, which seriously affects the quality of life of patients. Small splint therapy ofTraditional Chinese Medicine is a reliable method for the treatment of such fractures. It notonly has good clinical efficacy, but also has fewer complications and high safety. However, thetraditional small splint fixation does not cover the styloid process of the ulna, and the fractureof the styloid process of the ulna is closely related to the stability of the wrist joint, which hasan important impact on the prognosis of the fracture. Based on this, we believe that the ulnarelongation splint can better improve the wrist function, and further prospects for related issues,in order to guide clinical practice.
