Management of post-traumatic malunion of fractures of the distal radius

Bradley E Slagel et al. Orthop Clin North Am. 2007 Apr.

Abstract

Distal radius malunions are a common cause of patient morbidity. This review of the literature surrounding distal radius malunion covers the demographics, pathologic anatomy, and indications for surgery, surgical techniques, and salvage options. Particular emphasis is placed on subject areas that have not been reviewed as extensively in previous articles, including: intra-articular malunion, computer-assisted techniques, bone graft alternatives, and volar fixed-angle plate osteosynthesis.
