  • Title: Fixation of unstable distal radius fractures with intrafocal pins and trans-styloid augmentation: a retrospective review and radiographic analysis.
    Author: Ebraheim NA, Ali SS, Gove NK.
    Journal: Am J Orthop (Belle Mead NJ); 2006 Aug; 35(8):362-8. PubMed ID: 16983866.
    Abstract:
    Our technique of intrafocal pinning with trans-styloid augmentation is highly effective in treating unstable distal radius fractures. In addition, our technique is safe and has a minimal number of complications. Although patients who are over age 65 may require additional rehabilitation after fracture healing, their ultimate outcomes will be satisfactory. Our technique restores radiographic parameters, provides excellent fracture reduction, and, most important, leads to good functional outcomes.
