BACKGROUND: Based on debatable recommendations of using bone substitutes for filling of metaphyseal void in elderly unstable distal radius fractures; this study investigated the following question "Do bone substitutes effectively contribute to postoperative stability of k-wire fixation construct and accelerate healing in elderly unstable distal radius fractures?".
METHODS: This prospective cohort study was conducted from October 2014 to April 2021. According to use of bone substitutes, 40 patients of elderly unstable distal radius fractures were alternately allocated into; group-(A) of bone substitutes-augmented percutaneous pinning (19 patients); and group-(B) of non-augmented percutaneous pinning (21 patients). Groups were compared for preoperative patients' demographics and postoperative ROM, Quick-DASH and Mayo Wrist scores, radiographic parameters (palmar tilt, radial height and inclination, ulnar variance and intra-articular step-off) and duration until radiographic fracture healing.
RESULTS: Statistically, augmented and non-augmented groups were matched in terms of patients' demographics (mean age; 58.7 vs. 62.0 years respectively, P-value = 0.25). All included fractures have healed with insignificantly longer duration in augmented group (7.1 vs. 6.8 weeks, P-value = 0.26). At 12-week postoperative evaluation, radiographic parameters of both groups were comparably well-maintained except for intra-articular step-off which showed significantly less secondary displacement in augmented group (0.1 vs. 0.4 mm, P-value = 0.01). There were insignificant differences in 6-month postoperative ROM, and Quick-DASH and Mayo Wrist scores.
CONCLUSION: Compared to its bone substitutes-augmented counterpart; non-augmented percutaneous pinning of elderly unstable distal radius fractures can offer advantages of comparable healing rates and functional and radiographic outcomes, less-invasive approach, shorter operative time and lower cost.
LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III.
