Plate fixation superior to pin fixation for intra-articular distal radius fracture .
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Comparison of External and Percutaneous Pin Fixation with Plate Fixation for Intra-articular Distal Radial Fractures
J Bone Joint Surg Am. 2008 Jan;90(1):16-22137 patients with 144 acute intra-articular distal radial fractures were randomized to undergo either external fixation combined with percutaneous pin fixation or open reduction and plate fixation. Following a period of 24 months, scores based on the Gartland and Werley point system indicated that patients managed with plate fixation demonstrated significantly better results than those who underwent external fixation with percutaneous pin fixation.
