Abstract
Distal radius nonunion is either more common or more commonly recognized. The success of operative treatment to gain union seems to have improved along with improvements in operative fixation of fractures of the distal radius. Operative treatment to gain union or arthrodese the wrist can improve function and comfort with relatively few complications.
