    Author: Winkler H.
    Journal: Kongressbd Dtsch Ges Chir Kongr; 2001; 118():386-8. PubMed ID: 11824281.
    Abstract:
    To achieve an optimal functional result after distal radius fractures the treatment has to orientate at different criteria. The bone destruction must be analysed. A fracture classification is necessary to use all the variable alternatives of treatment. With the AO classification we are able to describe most of the variable fracture types. Soft tissue damage and osteoporosis must be regarded additionally. The most important criteria however in fracture treatment is the fracture type.
