Antegrade Versus Retrograde Cross K-Wire In Distal Radius Fracture
Sponsor: Sohag University
Summary
This study aims to compare the clinical and radiological outcomes of distal radius fractures treated with cross K-wire fixation using the antegrade versus retrograde technique. Adult patients with extra-articular distal radius fractures will be randomly assigned to one of the two surgical approaches. The primary outcomes include fracture stability, functional recovery, and complication rates. The study is designed as a prospective, randomized controlled trial conducted at sohag university

Antegrade versus retrograde cross k-wire
\> Closed reduction of distal radius fracture followed by percutaneous insertion of two or more K-wires in an antegrade direction (from proximal to distal), crossing the fracture site under fluoroscopic guidance. The wires are introduced from the radial metaphysis and directed distally to stabilize the fracture.
