ABSTRACT

Background:

The aims of this study are 1) to assess whether open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) techniques for fractures of the proximal radius are associated with the range of motion (ROM), 2) to determine the incidence of hardware-related complications and removal following plate and screw fixation of the proximal radius, and 3) to evaluate whether the safe-zone definition is described in the literature and its relation to the ROM.

Methods:

A literature search was performed in the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases. Studies reporting ROM in patients undergoing ORIF for radial head or neck fractures were included. Two treatment groups were defined based on ORIF technique screws only or plates with and without additional screw placement.

Results:

A total of 13 articles were included with 519 patients, of which 271 belonged to the screw group and 248 to the plate group. At final follow-up, the screw group reported a mean supination of 79 (95% CI 74-83), pronation of 76 (95% CI 69-84), flexion of 131 (95% CI 124-138), and loss of extension of 4 (95% CI 1-7). The plate group reported a mean supination of 72 (95% CI 65-80), pronation of 697 (95% CI 60-75), flexion of 126 (95% CI 118-133), and loss of extension of 7 (95% CI 1-14).

Conclusion:

Predominantly retrospective studies show that the ROM seems similar for screw and plate osteosynthesis of proximal radius fractures. Complication rates are similar as well. The safe-zone definition is rarely reported.
