Abstract
Distal radius fractures are common injuries that often require surgical intervention. Commonly, these fractures are fixed using open reduction internal fixation with plating and screws. This often requires a more extensive soft tissue dissection and exposure. In contrast for certain cases, percutaneous headless compression screws may be appropriate. We present a technique for minimally invasive arthroscopic-assisted reduction and percutaneous screw fixation with an extremity traction device. A case is provided to demonstrate the technique as a viable option for the treatment of intra-articular distal radius fractures.
