Comparative Analysis of Dorsal Distraction Plating Versus External Fixation in the Management of Intra-Articular Distal Radius Fractures.

Introduction: Fractures located in close proximity to the lower end of the radius bone, which make up around 16% of fractures requiring emergency treatment require careful treatment to regain mobility in the wrist joint and the fingers. Although classic external fixation (ExFix) methods are widely used, newer procedures such as dorsal distraction plating are showing potential . This study investigates the concepts, debates, and results of several methods so that to determine the most effective fracture treatment.
