Abstract
Complex distal radius fractures present in a variety of patterns that differ by the area and degree of involvement of the articular and metaphyseal fracture components. No single method of treatment is appropriate for all fractures. This article discusses the types of fractures that either require or are best handled by formal open reduction and internal or external fixation.
