Abstract
Distal radius fracture is a common injury. The importance of anatomic reduction has been demonstrated by clinical studies as well as by laboratory assessment of force and stress studies. In fractures with articular displacement greater than 2 mm, radial shortening greater than 5 mm or dorsal angulation greater than 20°, suboptimal results have been reported in previously published studies so accurate reduction of the fracture is the first step in the treatment of distal radial fractures. Many options are available to maintain this initial reduction as closed reduction and cast immobilization, percutaneous pinning and external fixations.
