Abstract

Complex injuries of the distal radius can be associated with articular comminution, severe soft tissue injury, large metaphyseal and/or diaphyseal bone defects, carpal ligament tears or its combinations. We recommend a standardized three step approach for the management of these severe injuries: external fixation as an emergency procedure; treatment of soft tissue damage and further diagnostics as needed; definitive adapted operative therapy after thorough analysis of the specific injury.
