  • Title: The prevention and treatment of complications from fractures of the distal radius and ulna.
    Author: Zemel NP.
    Journal: Hand Clin; 1987 Feb; 3(1):1-11. PubMed ID: 3818803.
    Abstract:
    Almost one third of fractures of the distal radius are associated with some complication, either bony or soft tissue. Proper reduction and appropriate stabilization of the fracture are necessary to prevent many of these complications, particularly those involving the articular end of the radius. Although closed treatment is usually satisfactory, an open reduction and internal fixation of the fracture often is indicated in younger patients.
