Abstract

Distal radius fractures are among the most common fractures treated by orthopedic surgeons. Various classification systems have been described which can help in deciding the approach for fixation. In some cases, a computed tomography scan can provide better understanding of the fracture fragments and displacement for surgical planning. Plating through the volar approach is the most common approach for fractures meeting operative criteria. Several additional approaches can be used for specific fracture patterns. These approaches can be used in isolation or in conjunction with other approaches to aid in visualization and fixation.
