Abstract：Objective To investigate the effect of ulnar styloid fracture degree on the prognosis of manipulative reduction for the treatment of distal radius fractures.Methods A total of 108 patients with distal radius fractures were studied and their degrees of ulnar styloid fracture were evaluated.All cases were divided into group A (46 cases,type Ⅰ fracture or type Ⅱ fracture with displacement≤1 mm),group B (42 cases,1mm＜ type Ⅱ fracture with displacement ≤ 2 mm) and group C (20 cases,type Ⅱ fracture with displacement＞2 mm).The Cooney score of the three groups were compared after 6 month and 12 month.Results Cooney score of group A and group B after 6 month were higher than that of group C (P＜0.05).Group A and B had no complications.There were 2 cases with intractable ulnar wrist pain and 2 cases with complex regional pain syndrome in group C.Conclusion The degree of ulnar styloid fracture has clear effect on the manipulative reduction treatment of distal radius fractures.Type Ⅱ fracture with displacement more than 2mm means relatively poor wrist joint function in long-term functional recovery and a higher incidence of pain in patients.More active control and rehabilitation training on pain and functional recovery is needed.
