BACKGROUND
Although Colles' fracture i.e. a dorsally displaced distal radius fracture (DRF) is one of the most common fractures, there is no enough evidence to determine the best form of rehabilitation.
OBJECTIVE
To assess whether the use of pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy during cast
In order to analyze the pressure on the carpal tunnel in the acute phase after Colles' fractures 13 patients were studied. The initial pressure and the variation after injection of a local anesthetic into the fracture hematoma, as well as the effects of increased volar flexion of the wrist, were
Lymphedema of the hand following a fracture of the distal radius is a disabling, but rare complication. Although the pathogenesis of this mechanism is poorly understood, extensive review of the literature suggests that an underlying cause of this lymphedema is psychogenic in nature. After numerous
