BACKGROUND Fracture of the distal radius is a common injury. Many treatment options exist for the surgical management of extra-articular and intra-articular distal radius fractures. The best method of treatment for these fractures remains controversial. We sought to examine radiographic outcomes of patients treated with non-spanning external fixator (NSEF), open reduction and internal fixation ...

The purpose of this study is to investigate the failure sequence of the distal radius during a simulated fall onto an outstretched hand using cadaver forearms and high-speed X ray and video systems. This apparatus records the beginning and propagation of bony failure, ultimately resulting in distal radius or forearm fracture. The effects of 3 different wrist guard designs are investigated using...

Distal radius fractures in young adults are associated with high-energy trauma and elderly people low-energy falls. One of the distal is Barton Fracture (BF), a radiocarpal fracture-luxation whose production mechanism usually varies, most common being fall on an extended pronated wrist. We present 27-year-old male patient epiphysis injury dislocation following blunt trauma. Timely osteosynthesi...
