Abstract：Objective To investigate the curative effect of the volar T-shaped plate internal fixation for treat-ment of distal radius fracture in elderly patients .Methods Eighty-five elderly patients with distal radius fracture who were admitted into our hospital from Sep .2012 to Sep.2014 were randomly divided into the observation group ( n=45) and the control group ( n=40) .Patients in the observation group were treated by the volar T-shape plate internal fixation,and patients in the control group were treated by the volar anatomical plate internal fixation .The ulnar devia-tion angle,volar tilt angle,radial height,flatness parameters of radial and carpal articular surface ,operative time,blood loss,hospital stay,and fracture healing were recorded after operation.Results The healing time of the observation group was significantly shorter than that of the control group(P<0.05).There were statistical differences in the ulnar de-viation angle,volar tilt angle,radial height,and flatness parameters of radial and carpal articular surface between the two groups(P<0.05),but there was no significant difference in the radial height(P>0.05).According to the Gartland-Wer-ley standard,the excellent and good rate of wrist joint function of the observation group was better than that of the control group.Conclusion The volar and good T-shaped plate internal fixation for distal radius fracture has advantages of short function recovery time and good functional recovery,which is worthy of clinical popularization and application.
