Dorsal bridge plating (DP) of the distal radius is used as a definitive method of stabilization in complex fracture configurations and polytrauma patients. This review aims to summarize the current understanding of DP and evaluate surgical outcomes. Four databases were searched following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses guidelines and registered with PROSPERO.

The clinical presentation is often asymptomatic with incidental imaging findings. We present an unusual clinical presentation of a benign peripheral nerve sheath tumor of the radial nerve.

- The study aimed to explore the origin and impact of the surgical intervention threshold, especially focusing on the implications of residual displacement and the significance of precise measurement.
- A systematic review of literature was conducted to trace the developments of this threshold, identifying that Knirk and Jupiter (1986) first proposed a 2 mm displacement threshold linked to arthritis outcomes, even though questions around methodology have emerged.
- Despite the established threshold of 2 mm, discrepancies between radiological assessments and clinical outcomes suggest a need for updated research and more consistent measurement practices in orthopaedic surgery.
