This review of current literature discusses the morphology of the volar aspect of the distal radius; the surgical procedure, arthroscopic findings, and clinical results of a plate presetting and arthroscopic reduction technique for acute intra-articular fractures; and a novel simulation guidance system for malunited intra-articular fractures. Classification of intra-articular distal radius fractures is also discussed, focusing on central depression fracture fragments, associated soft tissue injuries, and results for measuring scapholunate distances at different sites. Problems of the distal radioulnar joint are reviewed, in particular, functional outcomes of the authors' prospective cohort study on unstable intra-articular fractures involving the distal radioulnar joint.

Do patients with minimally displaced distal radial fractures need a plaster cast?

Traditionally, patients with a fracture of the distal radius are treated in a cast if they do not require surgery. If the fracture requires manipulation, the cast is moulded to hold the reduction and maintain normal anatomical alignment during healing. However, is a cast necessary for patients whose fracture does not require manipulation? Removable splints are an alternative treatment option.

Background: Distal radius fractures are prevalent in small and toy-breed dogs, presenting significant treatment challenges due to complications such as delayed union or non-union. These complications are often exacerbated by reduced vascular density at the distal diaphyseal-metaphyseal junction of the radius, which is vital for bone healing, particularly in toy and small breed dogs. Circular external fixation (CEF) is known for its effectiveness in managing acute and chronic fractures and providing temporary stabilization in humans.

Purposes: The objective of this study was to investigate intra-articular distal radius fractures, aiming to provide a comprehensive analysis of fracture patterns and discuss the corresponding treatment strategies for each pattern.
Methods: 294 cases of intra-articular distal radius fractures lines were collected and clustered thorough K-means and hierarchical clustering algorithm. The demographic data of patients and the clinical treatment outcomes were recorded.

Radiostereometric Analysis (RSA) is the most accurate method for determining early micromotions of orthopedic implants. Computed Tomography Radiostereometric Analysis (CT-RSA) is a method that can be used to determine implant and bone micromovements using low-dose CT scans. This study aimed to evaluate the reliability of the CT-RSA method in measuring the interfragmental mobility in patients who have undergone a correction osteotomy due to a malunited distal radius fracture.
