    A retrospective analysis of 20 multifragmental fractures of distal radius treated in Clinic of General and Hand Surgery in Szczecin from March 1996 until November 1997 with own constructed fixateur externe showed in 80% very good and good functional results according to the criteria of Gartland and Werley, Castaing. Mean follow-up was 10 months after operation. The 20 patients were on average 56.5 years old. The fixator was removed after five to at least six weeks.
