The Impact of Sigmoid Notch Involvement on the Outcomes of Distal Radius Fractures: Radiological and Clinical Assessments after a Minimum of 5 Years of Follow-up
SN involvement did not affect clinical outcomes in DRF patients with a minimum of 5 years of follow-up. However, radiologically, the OA grades were significantly higher in the SN involvement group. Therefore, in cases of DRF with SN involvement, there is no significant difference in clinical outcome, but it is necessary to explain to patients that posttraumatic DRUJ arthritis may occur in the future.
