Abstract:
On a group of 30 patients authors present the results they have achieved in the treatment of fractures of distal radius by external fixation. They deal with indications to the treatment of this injury by external fixation and describe in detail the method of such treatment. They discuss the pitfalls of this treatment, potential complications and adequacy of individual types of external fixators. They point out the discrepancy in the evaluation of objective achievements and subjective evaluation of patients. In total they evaluate the results as good and recommend a more consistent diagnostic and therapeutic connsidera-tion of the treatment of these injuries in out-patient departments. Key words: fracture of distal radius, external fixator.

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...
