Abstract：Objective To analyze the treatment effect of type C distal radius fractures using external fixator and locking compression plate.Methods There were 38 patients in the LCP (locking compression plate) group, and 30 patients in the EF ( external fixators ) group.There were 32 males and 36 females,with an average age of 46.25 years.The radius height ,dorsal tilt,radial tilt of the LCP and EF group were assessed by X ray film .The wrist joint function was scored 3 months and 12 months postoperatively .Results The radius height of the LCP and EF group was (9.40 ±0.52)mm and (9.20 ±0.50)mm,respectively.The dorsal tilt of the LCP and EF group was (9.35 ±0.60)°and (9.27 ±0.71) °,respectively.The radial tilt of the LCP and EF group was (20.40 ±0.78)° and (21.30 ±0.73 ) °,respectively.The wrist joint Gartland-Werley score of the LCP and EF group at postopera-tive 3 months was(3.51 ±1.17) points and (5.36 ±1.58) points,respectively,with statistical difference(P<0.05).The wrist joint Gartland-Werley score of the LCP and EF group at postoperative 12 months was (2.86 ± 1.01) points and (3.12 ±1.00) points,respectively,without statistical difference(P>0.05).Conclusion The wrist function of the LCF group is better than that of the EF group within 3 months after operation ,but has no signifi-cant difference 12 months after operation .
