| description | This is a prospective study of a series of 26 patients with closed unstable
comminuted intra-articular fracture distal end of the radius treated with two
different methods of treatment to compare their anatomical and functional
results. The external fixation group consisted of 12 patients and internal
fixation group consisted of 14 patients. The anatomical and functional
assessments were performed at six months and one year. The anatomical results
at six months and one year showed that the internal fixation group was
effective in maintaining the reduction compared to the external fixation
group. The radial height, volar tilt and radial inclination were well
maintained. However, the functional results at six months and one year showed
no differences between these two types of fixation. The complication rate was
higher in external fixation group.
