Factors affecting functional outcome after stroke: A critical review of rehabilitation interventions

One hundred and eleven intra-articular fractures of the distal radius in young adults that were conservatively treated were studied. At two years, 80% of fractures were rated as excellent or good by the modified Green and O'Brien scoring system. The rate of re-displacement within casts was 28%. Sixty five per cent of re-displaced fractures were treated with surgical fixation. Those re-displaced fractures treated with repeated manipulation had only 33% excellent or good result. Moreover, their initial alignment could not be preserved. Axial compression (>2 mm) and dorsal angulation (>15°) were directly related to worse functional outcome and diminished range of motion.

Herbert Screw

50 patients with scaphoid non-union were treated by open reduction, anterior wedge bone grafting and internal fixation using the Herbert screw. Intra-operative image intensiner control enabled us to insert the screw into the scaphoid accurately. An excellent or good functional outcome was less likely when more than 5 years had elapsed since injury, the non-union was in the proximal third, when sclerosis of the proximal fragment was present, and when reduction of carpal and scaphoid deformity was unsatisfactory. These four factors are believed to be the primary determinants affecting the functional results of the surgical treatment of scaphoid non-union, even when bony union is achieved.
