Treating fractures of the distal radius with arthroscopic assistance
Abstract:
The role and technique of arthroscopy when used in the treatment of fractures of he distal radius are reviewed. Arthroscopy, if properly modified, assists in the evaluation and reduction of displaced intra-articular fractures of the distal radius in treating associated injuries within the carpus. Technical details important to the successful use of this technique are discussed. Favorable outcomes have been reported after the use of this technique for the reduction of displaced intra-articular fractures of the distal radius.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
