Abstract
The results in sixteen patients who had displaced intra-articular fracture of the distal radius treated by surgical procedure, were retrospectively reviewed.
In an average follow-up of two years and two months, 15 patients had a rating of good or excellent by Saito's scoring system. An articular congruency of less than two millimeters' displacement was restored in all patients. In four patients slight post-traumatic arthritis was found.
