■手腕骨折,尤其是桡骨远端,如果不及早动员,可能会导致严重的僵硬和手部功能障碍。骨折后的固定期取决于骨折类型,location,稳定性,和手术干预。早期动员不足通常会导致结构僵硬,受患者健康的影响,损伤机制,关节表面受累,相关组织损伤,和耐心的动机。
一名身体健康的64岁女性桡骨远端骨折,切开复位内固定治疗。修改后的治疗计划,包括定制矫形器和积极的手腕锻炼,在标准固定阶段后开始,以增加运动范围,同时适应患者的日常活动。
■使用测角仪对患者进行了15次活动范围(AROM)评估,由美国手治疗师协会指导。进行组织组成分析(TCA)以指导矫形器治疗选择。尽管在AROM中表现出持续的改善,改良治疗的贡献是否显著超出标准方法尚不确定.
■虽然患者的AROM有所改善,对这一单个病例的治疗效果不能明确证实改良方法的疗效。更广泛的研究是必要的,以评估保守治疗策略的有效性,这种骨折的高需求患者,考虑到损伤的生物力学复杂性和患者的专业需求。
UNASSIGNED: Wrist fractures, particularly the distal radius, can result in significant stiffness and hand dysfunction if not mobilized early. The variable immobilization period post-fracture depends on fracture type, location, stability, and surgical intervention. Inadequate early mobilization typically leads to structured stiffness, influenced by patient health, injury mechanism, joint surface involvement, associated tissue injuries, and patient motivation.
UNASSIGNED: A 64-year-old female in good health suffered a distal radius fracture, treated with open reduction and internal fixation. A modified treatment plan, including custom orthosis and active wrist exercises, was initiated after the standard immobilization phase to enhance the range of motion while accommodating the patient\'s daily activities.
UNASSIGNED: The patient underwent 15 evaluations of active range of motion (AROM) using a goniometer, guided by the American Society of Hand Therapists. A Tissue Composition Analysis (TCA) was performed to guide the orthosis-treatment choice. Despite consistent improvement shown in AROM, it was inconclusive whether the modified treatment contributed significantly beyond the standard approach.
UNASSIGNED: While the patient\'s AROM improved, the treatment\'s effect on this single
case cannot definitively confirm the efficacy of the modified approach. A more extensive study is necessary to evaluate the conservative treatment strategy\'s validity for such fractures in high-demand patients, considering the biomechanical complexity of the injury and the patient\'s professional needs.
