Aktueller Stand der Behandlung von Radiusfrakturen

The treatment of distal fracturs of the radius has undergone a considerable change in recent years, from conservative treatment through fixation with Kirschner wires to plate fixation. Plae fixation involving stabilisation with fixed-angle implants has proved to lead to few complications.So far, fixed-angle implants have been used for 39 fractures in patients of the author's own.Bone healing was obtained in all these cases, and no complications were observed.
