  • Title: Acute fractures of the distal radius.
    Author: Rettig ME, Raskin KB.
    Journal: Hand Clin; 2000 Aug; 16(3):405-15, ix. PubMed ID: 10955214.
    Abstract:
    Distal radius fractures commonly are sustained by athletes during competition. Typically, these are high energy injuries with severe displacement, metaphyseal comminution, and articular surface disruption. Each fracture is distinguished by its degree of articular displacement, stability, and reducibility. Management is contingent on recognition of the variable magnitude of articular disruption and skillful treatment based on specific fracture configuration.
