摘要
The frequency of secondary displacement in fractures of the distal end of the radius is very high and varies from 40 to 60% in various series. This results from the void in the epiphysis after reduction due to crushing of the cancellous bone. Secondary displacement can be easily avoided by the bipolar fixation method. This method is quite simple. Two strong Kirschner wires are driven into the radius and into the first metacarpal, and then incorporated in the cast after the reduction of the fracture. In this study we have followed 102 out of 250 patients treated by this method. The number of secondary displacements has been negligible. The functional results are excellent and we did not find any untoward effects attributable to our technique. © 1979 Springer-Verlag.
