A Case Series of Functional and Radiological Outcome of Comminuted Distal Radius Fractures Treated with Bridging External Fixator with Optional Percutaneous K-wires
Spanning external fixation, with or without K-wire support, is an effective alternative to open reduction methods for complex intra-articular distal radius fractures. It offers the advantages of simplicity, reduced operative duration, less blood loss, and a lower risk of infection, making it a reliable option for managing these challenging injuries.
