About this Scientific Article
In this article, you will learn why CT-based treatment-oriented classifications of distal radius fractures are superior to those based on plain X-rays, which do not provide any information on how to treat these fractures. Expand your biomechanical understanding of the mechanical forces underlying each fracture type. Learn about the concept of osteoligamentous units and key fragments to select the optimal stabilisation method for each fracture type. The concept is explained in more detail using the volar key type as an example.
