Abstract

Non-spanning external fixation of the distal radius is a simple, reliable, and noninvasive technique to restore the anatomy in unstable extra-articular or minimal articular fractures of the distal radius. Rehabilitation is faster and more complete than with other comparable techniques. It is also a successful technique for stabilization of corrective osteotomy of the distal radius formal union.
