Abstract: Fractures of distal radius are most common fractures of the upper extremity, comes in practice and compromise 17% of all fractures and 75% of all radius-ulna fractures. Restoration of radial length, radial tilt angle and conformity of joint surface is essential for good outcomes. Improper anatomic reduction can lead to degenerative arthritis, distal radio-ulnar and metacarpal instability and ulnar impaction syndrome with resultant pain, decreased mobility, strength and function.
Various surgical modalities have been discovered as a result of these disadvantages due to conservative treatment. These include per cutaneous pinning of distal fragment, immobilisation with pins incorporated in plaster, external fixator, or if with or without bone graft and huge or if.
