Detailed Description:

Complex distal radius fractures are a common problem treated by orthopaedic surgeons. The purpose of this study is to compare the outcome between complex distal radius fractures treated with open reduction and internal fixation using a volar fixed angled plate versus and external fixator versus DVR. The hypothesis is that the volar fixed angled plate will have a superior outcome both radiographically and clinically.
