poor correlation between functional results and radiographic findings in Colles Fracture
Journal of Hand Surgery (European Volume), 1993Co-Authors: Tomoo Tsukazaki, K Takagi, Katsuro IwasakiAbstract:Abstract We reviewed 83 consecutive patients with unilateral Colles' Fracture in order to identify factors that predict poor functional outcome. All Fractures were treated by closed reduction and cast immobilization, and followed-up for at least 2 years. Our results showed that only final dorsal angulation was correlated to loss of flexion. In contrast to other reports, we could not find any relationship between radial shortening and loss of grip strength or loss of range of motion. In addition, the severity of initial displacement, involvement of radio-carpal or distal radio-ulnar joints, and the presence of ulnar styloid Fractures or their non-union did not affect the functional outcome.

ulnar wrist pain after Colles Fracture 109 Fractures followed for 4 years
Acta Orthopaedica Scandinavica, 1993Co-Authors: Tomoo Tsukazaki, Katsuro IwasakiAbstract:109 patients with unilateral Colles' Fracture, treated with closed reduction and cast immobilization, were re-examined after 4 (1–9) years. At follow-up, 40 patients had persistent ulnar wrist pain. The most important factor for predicting ulnar pain was final dorsal angulation of the radius. Initial and final radial shortening, Fracture of the distal radioulnar joint, ulnar styloid Fracture, or instability of the distal ulna were not correlated to ulnar wrist pain. We suggest that ulnar wrist pain following Colles' Fracture is caused by incongruity of the distal radioulnar joint.

ulnar wrist pain after Colles Fracture
Orthopaedics and Traumatology, 1993Co-Authors: Tomoo Tsukazaki, Tsukasa Kondo, Kouichi ShiraishiAbstract:One hundred and five patients with unilateral Colles' Fracture, treated with closed reduction and cast immobilization, were followed up for a median of 46.8 (12-104) months. At follow-up, 39 patients had some form of persistent ulnar wrist pain. Final dorsal angulation was significantly increased in patients with pain compared to those without pain. However, initial and final radial shortening, Fractures involving the distal radio-ulnar joint, ulnar styloid Fractures or nonunion and instability of the distal ulna had no effect on ulnar wrist pain. We conclude that ulnar wrist pain is due to incongruity of the distal radio-ulnar joint.

algodystrophy is an early complication of Colles Fracture what are the implications
Journal of Hand Surgery (European Volume), 1997Co-Authors: J Field, R M AtkinsAbstract:One hundred patients who had sustained a Colles' Fracture were observed for features of algodystrophy at 1, 5, 9 and 12 weeks following injury. The diagnosis of algodystrophy was possible as soon as 1 week after Fracture. Early diagnosis has important clinical implications: the aetiological factors may become apparent and different treatment modalities be identified; furthermore, early treatment can be started, limiting the morbidity of the condition. It is proposed that patients with features of algodystrophy require physiotherapy after a Colles' Fracture. Those without features may not.

features of algodystrophy after Colles Fracture
Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery-british Volume, 1990Co-Authors: R M Atkins, T Duckworth, J A KanisAbstract:We report the results of a prospective study of the incidence of algodystrophy following Colles' Fracture in 60 patients, using sensitive or quantitative techniques for the assessment of each feature of the syndrome. Nine weeks after Fracture, 24 patients had evidence of vasomotor instability, 23 had significant tenderness of the fingers and 23 had lost finger movement. These three abnormalities were significantly associated (p less than 0.001). Swelling was also significantly associated with these three variables. There was no statistical association between the occurrence of algodystrophy and the patient's age or sex, the severity of the Fracture, the number of reductions performed or the adequacy of the reduction. We conclude that algodystrophy constitutes a precisely definable and quantifiable syndrome which is more common than has been suspected.

radiological measurement of radial shortening in Colles Fracture
Journal of Hand Surgery (European Volume), 1993Co-Authors: D Warwick, J Field, D Prothero, G C BannisterAbstract:Abstract 100 consecutive patients with Colles' Fracture were assessed functionally three months after the injury, and the result correlated with initial shortening of the radius. Three methods were used to measure radial shortening; only the one that measured the distance from distal radial to distal ulnar surfaces correlated with functional outcome. It is concluded that this is the most valid method of measurement and the deficiencies of the other methods are discussed.

function ten years after Colles Fracture
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1993Co-Authors: D Warwick, Jeremy Field, David Prothero, Alan Gibson, G C BannisterAbstract:: There are no data in the literature concerning the outcome of Colles' Fracture beyond six years. One hundred consecutive patients with displaced Colles' Fractures were reviewed ten years after the injury. Function, radiographic anatomy, osteoarthrosis, and reflex sympathetic dystrophy (algodystrophy) were all objectively assessed. By the time of this review, 35 patients had died. Eighty-five percent of those surviving had a satisfactory outcome. Forty-two percent had improved functionally in ten years and 20% had deteriorated. Initial and ten-year radial shortening and early finger stiffness significantly correlated with final outcome. Dorsal angulation influenced early but not ten-year function. Sixty-two percent of those with an unsatisfactory result had objective features of reflex sympathetic dystrophy, compared with only 6% of those with a satisfactory result. Osteoarthrosis was found in 37%, but in only 4% was it associated with an unsatisfactory outcome.
