Cooper EO, Segalman KA, Parks BG, Sharma KM, Nguyen A. American Journal of Orthopedics,36(4), April 2007: E46-E49 Abstract: Eight matched pairs of cadaveric radii were osteotomized by removing a 4-mm dorsal wedge of bone at the level of the sigmoid notch designed to simulate dorsal comminution. They were then fixed with

Abramo, A, MD, Kopylov, P, MD, Tagil, M, MD Acta Orthopaedica, 79(3), 376–385 Background and purpose: Distal radius fractures are most often treated nonoperatively, but sometimes they are treated surgically when deemed unstable. Based on the literature, a consensus protocol for treatment has been developed in southern Sweden to aid clinicians
N. Saw, C. Roberts, K. Cutbush, M. Hodder, G. Couzens and M. Ross Journal of Hand Surgery (European Volume, 2008) 33E: 1: 53–58 This paper reports the results of fixation of intraarticular fractures of the distal radius using the TriMed fragment-specific fixation system by surgeons early in their experience with the
Martineau, P A, MD, Waitayawinyu, T, MD, Malone, K J, MD, Hanel, D P, MD, Trumble, T. E., M.D. The Journal of Hand Surgery, 33(6), 827–834 Purpose: The goal of this study was to determine whether locking screws or smooth locking pegs optimize fixation of AO C3 intra-articular distal radius fractures.
Abramo, A, MD, Tagil, M, MD, Geijer, M, MD, Kopylov, P, MD Acta Orthopaedica, 79(2), 262–268 Background and purpose: Malunion after a distal radius fracture can be treated with an osteotomy of the distal radius. Often autologous iliac crest bone graft is used to fill the gap, but this is associated
Buzzell, J E, MD, Weikert, D R, MD, Watson, J T, MD, Lee, D H, MD The Journal of Hand Surgery, 33(7), 1144–1152 Purpose: To compare distal radius volar fixed-angle plates for anatomic fit. Methods: Twenty embalmed radii were stripped of soft tissues. The volar lip (watershed line) on the volar
Leslie, B. M., & Medoff, R. J. Techniques in Orthopaedics, 15(4), 336–352 Open reduction and internal fixation of displaced Colles fractures traditionally depend on screws, plates, and pins. Screws and plates can provide rigid fixation but frequently the plate will not exactly fit the fracture patterns and the screws can fragment
Abramo, A, MD, Kopylov, P, MD, Geijer, M, MD, Tagil, M, MD Department of Orthopedics, Clinical Sciences, Lund University, Lund Sweden, Acta Orthopaedica 2009; 80 (3): 478-485 Background and Purpose: In unstable distal radial fractures that are impossible to reduce or to maintain in reduced position, the treatment of choice is
Pirela-Cruz, Miguel A., MD, FACS and Scher, Danielle L., MD Techniques in Hand & Upper Extremity Surgery, 14(4), 218–221 Abstract: Extracurricular and simple intraarticular fractuers and malunions of the distal radius can be addressed through a direct radial approach that entails careful and meticulous handling of the soft tissues. This approach
