New concepts in the treatment of distal radius fractures. Instructional course lectures Taras, J. S., Ladd, A. L., Kalainov, D. M., Ruch, D. S., Ring, D. C. 2010; 59: 313-332

It is worthwhile to review some new methods of treatment, the role of bone grafting and synthetic substitutes, the principles of complex fracture management, and the treatment of common complications of distal radius fractures.
