Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss surgical techniques for distal radius fractures.
  • To review operative and salvage procedures for managing complications.

Main Methods:

  • Review of surgical techniques.
  • Discussion of operative procedures.
  • Analysis of salvage procedures.

Main Results:

  • Surgical management offers improved anatomic results compared to conservative treatment.
