Excerpt

We do not use external fixator (EF) in fractures of the distal radius (FDR) but open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) with volar plate (VP). In this publication, we will try to show that EF can be used to prepare a correct ORIF before plating the fracture but not as a definitive technique. …
