Summary

Distal radius fractures are treated surgically if severely displaced. This study aims to investigate the outcome after surgery. The investigators will randomize patients to either external fixation with optional addition of k-wires or open reduction and fixation with a volar plate.

Conditions

  • Dorsally Displaced Intraarticular Distal Radius Fractures
  • Age 50 - 74 for Females or 60-74 for Males
  • Low Energy Trauma

Interventions

PROCEDURE

External fixation

Bridging external fixation of a distal radius fracture with an optional addition of k-wire(s)
