Observation of curative effect of small splint and plaster support in the treatment of elderly distal radius fracture

Objective To explore the clinical effect of small splint and plaster caster external fixation for elderly distal radius fractures.Methods 320 elderly patients with distal radius fractures admitted to our hospital from December 2015 to October 2019 were selected as the research subjects,they were divided into experimental group and control group by random number table method,with 160 cases in each group.The experimental group was fixed with small splint,and the control group was fixed with plaster.The treatment effect,fracture healing time,VAS score,quality of life,wrist joint activity and Gartland-Weley function score were compared between the two groups.Results The total effective rate of treatment in the experimental group was 99.38%,which was significantly higher than 90.63%in the control group(P<0.05).The fracture healing time of the experimental group was significantly shorter than that of the control group(P<0.05).Before operation,there was no significant difference in VAS score between the two groups;after operation,the score of the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group(P<0.05).Before the operation,there was no significant difference in the quality of life between the two groups;after the operation,the quality of life in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).The degrees of back extension,palm flexion,pronation and supination of the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group,and the Gartland-Weley score was significantly lower than that of the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion The treatment effect of small splints for the elderly distal radius fractures is significant,which can effectively improve the cure rate and shorten the fracture healing time,which is worthy of clinical application.
