DISTAL RADIUS FRACTURES - BOWL OSTEOSYNTH ESIS

We present our treatment strategy for distal radius fractures, based o n intrafocal pinning (Kapandji) and further combination with a palmar plate resulting in bowl osteosynthesis (Nonnenmacher). Even with a cha nging surgical team, we got more than 80% good results and rapid reval idation. We thus favor dynamic minimal osteosynthesis close to the fra cture physiopathology. Indication for external fixation becomes limite d to open or comminutive fractures.
