Abstract
Distal radius fractures with dorsal articular surface impaction comprise a difficult fracture pattern to operatively reduce using a standard volar approach. Distal radius open reduction internal fixation using a dorsal approach allows direct visualization and reduction. The surgical technique video presented demonstrates technical pearls for optimal visualization, reduction, and fixation.
