Abstract
Both Henry and Thompson approaches are effective in fixation of proximal radial fractures, However Henry approaches need less operative time, with shorter mean time of union, wider range of motion and larger Porto-supination arc. So, Henry approached considered better approach for fixation of proximal radial fractures, because it is more safe and less complications approche.
The two groups in the current study were matched regarding age, sex, dominant side, mode of trauma and open fracture, with no statistically significant difference (P>0.05). The mean age in both groups was 32 years, with male predominance. The dominant side was right in most of the cases. The most commonly found mode of trauma in both groups was FTG followed by DT and RTA. The majority of cases had closed fractures.
The mean operation time in the Henry approach was 93.6 ±8.36 minutes, while in Thompson approach it was significantly longer (112.2 ±13.44 minutes) The difference was significant (P<0.001).
We followed up the cases for 17.85 ± 1.53 weeks in both groups. It was detected that the mean time of union was shorter after Henryapproach (13.65 ±1.38 weeks). However the difference was statistically insignificant.
