Summary

Open reduction and internal fixation of intra-articular distal radius fractures leads to better functional outcomes the first 6 months compared to non-operative treatment. However, some patients continue to have a painful and stiff wrist post-operatively. Arthroscopically assisted removal of intra- articular fracture haematoma and debris may reduce pain and improve the functional outcomes following operative treatment of intra-articular distal radius fractures. Moreover, during arthroscopy the quality of the reduction and the presence of associated ligamentous injuries can be assessed. Therefore the objective of this study is to compare the functional outcome of internal plate fixation with additional wrist arthroscopy versus conventional fluoroscopic assisted internal plate fixation in adult patients with displaced intra-articular distal radius fractures.
