Abstract

Abstract:

Dorsal fracture block involving articular surface is common in the distal radius fracture, it is difficult to achieve effective reduction and fixation only by volar approach. Uneven articular surface and fracture displacement, which are usually caused by poor reduction and fixation, may lead to patients′ postoperative pain and dysfunction. Traumatic orthopedic surgeon should highly focus on the question. In this article, the types and mechanisms of dorsoal intra-articular fracture of the distal radius were analyzed, and the recent advances in surgical treatment were reviewed.

Key words: Radius fractures, Intra-articular fractures, Orthopedic procedures
