We treated distal radius fracture with bone deficit using β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP). Two cases were added with internal fixation by Kirschner wire. Other cases were added with internal fixation by anatomical plate. We evaluated the clinical results. The mean age at the time of surgery was 74.5 years (range: 66 to 87 years). The mean duration of follow-up was 8.6 months (range: 3 to 13 months). All of the cases recovered well (results: two were excellent and two were good using Saito’s point cases recovered well (results: two were excellent and two were good using Saito’s point system). These results suggest that β-TCP is useful for the treatment of distal radius fracture with bone deficit.
