Abstract
This article discusses recent innovations in the management of distal radius fractures. Clinical and biomechanical studies have shown that stable fixation can be achieved with small implants aligned in an orthogonal fashion. This technique greatly diminishes the necessary soft tissue dissection needed at surgery and allows for early mobilization of the wrist, which may lead to improved outcomes and fewer soft tissue complications.
