ABSTRACT
Distal Radius Fractures (DRFs) represent one of the most common elderly patient's fractures. Often DRFs required surgical treatment based on instability of the fragments and due to the high functional demand from patients. A general agreement on the best pharmacological treatment in the post-operative is still missing. The present study describes the clinical outcome in patients who underwent surgery for Colles fracture using ES fixation osteosynthesis. ; The present investigation represents a one center retrospective analysis. In this study, two different medical treatments were recognized, and groups consequently set (Group A Ketoprofene 100 mg twice a day for 5 days, 59 patients; Group B Tramadol 75 mg and Dexketoprofen 25 mg, 62 patients). Outcomes were the functionality of the affected wrist through AROM assessment and the evaluation of painkillers intake, pain itself and Quick-DASH.; 121 patients were included in the present study. The pharma blending of Tramadol 75 mg and Dexketoprofen 25 mg resulted effective for the rapid recovery of the treated wrist motion. In fact, in the group B motion was better compared to group A (p<0.05) for any movement examined (flexion, extension, pronation, supination) until the last follow-up (70 days).; Associations of different painkillers are common, even if a general agreement on the most effective combination is still missing. Tramadol and Dexketoprofen provide a good clinical result, less side effects and a better functional recovery of the wrist motion. This guarantees a fewer social cost and a best management of post-operative physiotherapy.
