A comparison of sugar-tong and volar–dorsal splints for provisional immobilization of distal radius fractures in the adult population
European Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery & Traumatology, 2020Co-Authors: Trevor Jackson, Ethan Maulsby, Derek Wilson, Andy Lalka, Frank ScottAbstract:Introduction Distal radius fractures are extremely common injuries affecting a wide range of patient demographics. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of distal radius fractures managed initially with closed reduction and immobilization in either a below elbow volar–dorsal splint versus sugar-tong splint prior to conversion into a short arm cast. Methods We performed a retrospective study of patients with distal radius fractures placed in a sugar-tong ( n = 45) and volar–dorsal splint ( n = 36). Anteroposterior and lateral radiographs were evaluated immediately after closed reduction and placement into either a sugar-tong or volar–dorsal splint. The Radial inclination, Radial Length, volar tilt, and intra-articular displacement were measured. Results The average age was not significantly different between groups (Diff: 1.1 years, P = 0.8766). Initial clinic follow-up radiographs illustrated significantly lower Radial inclination in the sugar-tong group than volar–dorsal group (17.1 vs. 19, P = 0.0443). Follow-up mean Radial Length was not significantly lower in the sugar-tong than volar–dorsal group (8.4 vs. 9.2, P = 0.0858). Palmar tilt and articular step-off was not significantly different between splint types. The loss of reduction was 28.8% for the sugar-tong and 25.0% for the volar–dorsal group ( P = 0.696). Conclusion Our results did not demonstrate a significant difference in loss of reduction rates between the two splint groups. There was no significant difference between the sugar-tong and volar–dorsal groups in terms of loss of Radial Length and volar tilt. Loss of reduction was similar between groups suggesting no advantage of a volar–dorsal splint compared to a sugar-tong splint. Level of evidence Therapeutic level III.
