The intra-articular fracture patterns of 24 dorsally displaced intra-articular distal radius fractures were evaluated using wrist radiographs and corresponding computed tomography in 23 patients ...

Distal radius fracture is one of the most frequent human injuries. In persons aged 50 and over it is one of the typical fractures indicating underlying osteoporosis (1). The age-adjusted incidence ...

Intra-articular fractures of the distal radius (IFDR) represent high energy, complex, unstable injuries, and account for approximately one-sixth of the fractures observed in emergency rooms. 1,2 ...

The fracture may be extra-articular, intra-articular, or juxta-articular (called types I, II and III respectively). It can generally be treated with closed reduction and cast application.

The best treatment for intra-articular distal radius fractures in elderly patients is not definite, and it is unclear whether surgical management with volar locking plate fixation yields better ...

Background: Treatment of distal radius fractures in patients of a younger than osteoporotic age is complex, because they often are the result of a high-energy trauma and have intra-articular ...

Fractures of the distal radius are among the most common of musculoskeletal injuries; they occur at a rate of approximately 2 such injuries per 1000 individuals per year. As with most fractures ...
