Abstract
Managing fractures of the distal radius is a fundamental skill for orthopaedic surgeons. Given the prevalence of these fractures, complications following operative management are well described and frequently encountered. Surgeons should be observant in the acute phase for emergent conditions such as acute carpal tunnel syndrome. Careful radiographic examination intra-operatively can help prevent delayed complications by identifying surgical errors such as hardware malposition or malreduction. Many problems that arise during the treatment of distal radius fractures are the result of technical errors and can be anticipated.
