Foreword
The last few years have seen a radical shift in the treatment of distal radius fractures, from traditional casting and external fixation to open reduction. Dr. Dantuluri has edited an issue that refle...

Preface
Distal radius fractures are among the most common injuries that occur in the upper extremity and continue to challenge treating physicians in the new millennium. There has been an evolution of treatme...

Volar Plating of Distal Radius Fractures
Ever since the AO/ASIF group established the principles of safe and stable internal fixation for distal radius fractures, this method has evolved continuously, albeit slowly. Despite advances in inter...

Fragment-Specific Fixation of Distal Radius Fractures Using the 2.4 mm Synthes Locking System—A Rationale for Treatment
The past decade has witnessed a dramatic change in the management of fractures of the distal radius. Despite a lack of many evidence-based studies supporting the efficacy of internal fixation, this ha...

Fragment-Specific Fixation of Distal Radius Fractures
Distal radius fractures are not all alike. Differences in the direction and magnitudes of applied force, the position of the hand and forearm at the time of injury, and the underlying quality of bone ...

Closed Reduction and Percutaneous Pinning for Distal Radius Fractures
There are multiple techniques for treating distal radius fractures. Closed reduction and percutaneous pinning remain a valid and well-accepted method of surgical treatment for displaced and unstable f...

Considerations in Dorsal Plating of Distal Radius Fractures
The radiocarpal and distal radioulnar joints have a low degree of tolerance for residual articular incongruency and malunion following fracture of the distal radius. Articular displacement of only 1 t...
