Popis: Despite recent advances in the treatment of complex distal radius fractures, problems of stiffness, carpal instability, and posttraumatic arthritis remain in a significant number of cases. Associated soft-tissue and ligamentous injuries are being recognized with increasing frequency. Arthroscopic reduction and internal fixation not only allow for anatomic reduction of the distal radius fracture with minimal surgical trauma, but provides a valid diagnostic and treatment alternative for the often missed associated injuries.
