Distal radius fractures are one of the most common occurring in the United States, second
only to hip fractures in elderly, with an estimated incidence of 643,000 per year. 1, 2 This …

More than 176 years have passed since Colles described a fracture of the distal end of the
radius24. It is remarkable that this common fracture remains one of the most chal-lenging of …

Sixty patients who had a displaced intra-articular fracture of the distal end of the radius were
managed with manipulative reduction and internal fixation performed under both …

Open reduction and internal fixation is often required in comminuted, displaced intra-
articular fractures of the distal radius when closed manipulation has failed to restore articular …

Using a volar approach to avoid the soft tissue problems associated with dorsal plating, we
treated a consecutive series of 29 patients with 31 dorsally displaced, unstable distal radial …

PURPOSE: Increased incidence of falls and osteoporosis combine to make distal radius
fractures a major cause of morbidity for the elderly patient. This report presents our …

Fractures of distal radius account for up to 20% of all fractures treated in emergency
department. Initial assessment includes a history of mechanism of injury, associated injury …

PURPOSE: Despite the recent popularity of volar plating for dorsally displaced distal radius
fractures there is a paucity of data documenting the results of this treatment method. The …

We present new developments in the volar treatment of unstable distal radius fractures in
adults. New perspectives on the anatomy of the wrist, the watershed line on the volar radius …

Background: The best treatment for an inadequately reduced fracture of the distal part of the
radius is not well established. We collected prospective outcomes data for patients …
