Comparison of Radiographic Outcomes of Surgical Treatment in Patients with Distal Radial Fractures.

Background: Unstable and comminuted distal radial fractures require surgical treatment by percutaneous insertion of Kirschner wires, open reduction, and fixation with a non-locking or locking plate or with an external device. Choosing a surgical method that produces "better" outcomes may help select the most efficient treatment method.

Material And Methods: The study group included 100 patients after surgical treatment by closed reduction and simple fixation with Kirschner wires and by open reduction and LCP locking plate fixation.
