A Minimally Invasive Technique of Reducing Difficult Distal Radius Fractures

Abstract

Divya Prakash

Severely displaced distal metaphyseal fractures of radius can some times be difficult to reduce by manipulation. In such cases, the operating surgeon normally proceeds with an open reduction of the fracture through a standard incision. In cases where manipulation has failed to achieve proper reduction of fracture, and open reduction is being considered, a technique is presented by the author, which he has used for a number of years, to achieve satisfactory reduction through a very small incision instead.
