Wrist Fixation System

R.J. Medoff, MD; P. Kopylov, M.D. Orthopaedic Transactions, 22 (1): 165. 1998 Abstract: A new system of internal fixation designed for displaced articular fractures of the distal radius provides non-destructive stabilization of distal fragments. Implants are low profile distally, and base fixation on the strong cortical bone of the proximal fragment.

Barrie, K A, MD, Wolfe, S W, MD Techniques in Hand and Upper Extremity Surgery, 6(1), 10–20. Fractures of the distal radius are the most common fractures of the upper extremity. Unlike the more common, lower-energy, extraacticular fractures, intraarticular distal radius fractures represent a complex injury that is associated is less
