3 Reasons For a Surgery of Radius!

The first reason I wanted to highlight for a surgical treatment of the distal radius

fracture is basically a misalignment of the bones that might appear, and we can see that

on an example of radial inclination, and that is this angle over here, which is normally

around 23 degrees, but it can be reduced if a distal radius fracture has occurred.

Furthermore, the second reason I wanted to highlight was a possible step off that appears

as a possible consequence of an intraarticular distal radius fracture, where the fracture

happened inside of the joint, on the joint surfaces as well.

And if the patient lands on his wrists flexed, then he might experience the so-called Smith’s

fracture, and that is the third reason for a surgical treatment of the distal radius

fractures.
