Intraarticular fractures of the distal radius were treated successfully with a single volar incision and the insertion of a fixed angle plate. Researchers led by Jorge Orbay, MD, of the Miami Hand ...

The MRI (Figure 3) showed a subacute transverse distal radius fracture without malalignment, a small joint effusion, and a widened scapholunate (S-L) space associated with a tear of the SL ligament.

Background: After the surgical management of distal radius fractures (DRF) in older patients, further treatment with a splint often follows. It is unclear whether early mobilization might be ...

Buckle fractures of the distal radius are common in children between 2 and 12 years of age Buckle (torus) fractures occur when the bony cortex is compressed and bulges, without extension of the ...
