The treatment of distal radius fractures requires a meticulous
reconstruction of the joint surface, as well as stable internal
fixation and early functional post-operative treatment.
Extra-articular fractures require both the restoration of the
volar tilt and radial length to reduce the possibility of displacement.
Any malalignment may result in limitations of
movement, changes of load distribution, mid-carpal instability
as well as the increased risk of osteoarthritis in the radiocarpal
join
