Bae, D. S., & Koris, M. J. Hand Clinics, 21(3), 355–362 Anatomic reduction, articular reconstitution, stable internal fixation, and early wrist mtion are key elements in achieving the best possible functional outcomes following fractures of the distal radius. Many methods of surgical treatment have been used to accomplish these goals, including

F. Lam, N. Jaysekera, S. Karmani, J.B. Jupiter Current Orthopaedics (2006) 20, 208-211 Summary: The distal radius is the commonest site of fracture in the human skeleton and its treatment continues to evolve with advancing technology. Recently, there have been further refinements in the design of fixed-angle devices, pegs, locking plates
Taylor, K F, MD, Parks, B G, MSc, Segalman, K A, MD The Journal of Hand Surgery, 31(3), 373–381 Purpose: To compare the biomechanical stability of 2 recently introduced fixation systems in an intra-articular, dorsal comminution distal radius fracture model. Methods: AO/ASIF type C2 fractures were simulated in 10 matched pairs

Cooper EO, Segalman KA, Parks BG, Sharma KM, Nguyen A. American Journal of Orthopedics,36(4), April 2007: E46-E49 Abstract: Eight matched pairs of cadaveric radii were osteotomized by removing a 4-mm dorsal wedge of bone at the level of the sigmoid notch designed to simulate dorsal comminution. They were then fixed with
