Abstract
Objective: To compare the functional and radiological outcomes of treatment of volar Barton's fractures using T plate with and without distal end screws.
Methods: This randomized control trial was conducted at the department of Orthopedics, Mayo Hospital, Lahore, Pakistan from December 2021 to May 2022. Total 60 patients (30 in each group) were randomly allocated to either group A (T-Plate with distal end screws) or B (T-Plate without distal end screws). Patients were followed up on day-0, day-14, day-28 and day-90. Assessments of patients were done by Green O'Brien Score for pain, Modified Warden Score for callus formation on radiographs at 12-weeks of follow-up and Stewart Score for displacement of fracture.
Results: At 90th day, significant difference was seen in Green O'Brien Score (Excellent score: Group-A: 80% vs. Group-B: 90%, p=0.278) while Stewart scores remained comparable (Excellent Score: Group-A: 93.33% vs. Group-B: 96.67%, p=0.221) between treatment groups. Fracture healing assessed with Modified Warden score for score 4 did not show significant difference between both groups at 90th day. i.e. (Group-A: 96.67% vs. Group-B: 96.67%). However, callus formation assessed with Modified Warden score for score 3 showed significant differences between groups at 90th day. i.e. (Group-A: 53.33% vs. Group-B: 86.67%, p=0.001).
Conclusion: Both treatment approaches appear to yield comparable outcomes in terms of clinical assessment, Stewart scores, and fracture healing, with a potential advantage for T-plate without distal end screw in callus formation at the 90th day.Trial registration: IRCT20221231056999N1.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
