Este estudo foi identificado como tendo um impacto potencialmente elevado.
A métrica de Alto Impacto da OE, baseada em IA, estima a influência que um artigo poderá ter, integrando sinais da revista em que foi publicado e do conteúdo científico do próprio artigo.
Desenvolvido com recurso ao mais avançado processamento de linguagem natural, o modelo High Impact da OE prevê com maior precisão o desempenho futuro de um estudo em termos de citações do que o fator de impacto da revista por si só.
Isto permite o reconhecimento precoce de investigação clinicamente significativa e ajuda os leitores a concentrarem-se nos artigos com maior probabilidade de moldar a prática futura.

OE Journal. 2013;1(6):48 J Bone Joint Surg Am. 2009 Aug;91(8):1837-46.45 patients with displaced unstable fracture of the distal radius were randomized to receive open reduction and internal fixation or closed reduction and pin fixation. This study assessed if ORIF provided better early clinical outcomes compared to closed reduction with pin fixation. The results from this study indicated that ORIF provided better early postoperative outcomes in terms of ROM, strength, and DASH scores. At one year follow-up, both methods resulted in similar functional outcomes.
Was the allocation sequence adequately generated?
Was allocation adequately concealed?

Was loss to follow-up (missing outcome data) infrequent?
Are reports of the study free of suggestion of selective outcome reporting?
Were outcomes objective, patient-important and assessed in a manner to limit bias (ie. duplicate assessors, Independent assessors)?
Was the sample size sufficiently large to assure a balance of prognosis and sufficiently large number of outcome events?
Was investigator expertise/experience with both treatment and control techniques likely the same (ie.were criteria for surgeon participation/expertise provided)?

O Índice de Fragilidade é uma ferramenta que auxilia na interpretação de achados significativos, fornecendo uma medida de força para um resultado. O Índice de Fragilidade representa o número de eventos consecutivos que precisam de ser adicionados a um resultado dicotómico para que o resultado deixe de ser significativo. Um número pequeno representa um resultado mais fraco e um número grande representa um resultado mais forte.
Porque é que este estudo era necessário agora?
Distal radius fractures are the most common fracture of the upper extremity. Anatomic reduction with stable fixation has long been the treatment of choice for displaced, unstable fractures. Closed reduction with percutaneous pin fixation and/or external fixation has historically been the most common treatment for unstable injuries. However, open reduction and internal fixation has gained popularity, with emergence of volar locking plate technology. Internal fixation may allow immediate range of motion of the wrist. Few randomized trials exist to determine if this method is superior, with emphasis on early functional recovery.
Qual era a principal questão de investigação?
In patients undergoing reduction for a distal radial fracture, will open reduction and internal fixation with a volar plate lead to better outcomes when evaluated against closed reduction with percutaneous pin fixation, upto one year?
- Patients in the open reduction and internal fixation group had greater ROM and strength in all parameters compared to patients in the control group at the early postoperative time points (significance was achieved in all measurements, except digital motion to palm, at 6 weeks)
- Mean flexion-extension arc was significantly greater for the open reduction and internal fixation group over time (P<0.01)
- At six weeks postoperatively, average DASH score was 27 in the open reduction and internal fixation group and 53 in the closed reduction and percutaneous pin fixation group (p<0.01). At one year, scores became similar in both groups (4 compared with 9; P=0.18).
De que é que me devo lembrar mais?
Both open reduction and internal fixation with a volar plate and closed reduction with percutaneous pin fixation to treat distal radial fractures resulted in good clinical and radiographical outcomes. Patients managed with a volar plate had better ROM, grip strength, and lower DASH scores in the early postoperative period.
Como é que isto afectará o tratamento dos meus doentes?
This study suggests open reduction and internal fixation with a volar plate, as compared to closed reduction with percutaneous pin fixation, is a superior treatment modality in patients with distal radius fractures. Future methodologically sound studies are required with larger sample sizes to validate such conclusions.
