Fracture of the distal radius is very common, especially in elder people. Loss of reduction of the fracture often develop into symptomatic malunion or nonunion. Three cases of malunion following Colles's fracture, one case of nonunion following Smith's fracture, and one case of nonunion following Colles's farcture are reported in this study. All cases were female and mean age was 75.2 years at the time of operation. All patients underwent collective open-wedge osteotomy, and bone graft (harvested from ulna) according to Sauve-Kapandji's or Darrach procedure. The mean follow-up period was nine months. Functional and radiological outcomes improved in all cases.
