Abstract
Distal radius fractures are common and vary based on their fracture pattern. Fractures distal to the watershed line are called rim fractures or marginal fractures. In addition to challenges already faced when treating distal radius fractures at other sites, rim fractures pose particular challenges in proper identification, reduction, and stabilization. This article reviews this specific subset of distal radius fractures and its management.
