Background: The most frequent fractures of the upper extremities are distal radial fractures, which account for about one-sixth of all fractures treated in emergency rooms. Objective: Comparing the functional, clinical, and radiological results of two distinct fixation methods in patients with displaced distal radial fractures. Patients and methods: Over the course of six months, thirty patients with
displaced distal radius fractures were treated; fifteen underwent open reduction and internal fixation using a volar-locked plate (group A), and the remaining fifteen underwent external fixator with K-wires augmentation (group B). The Quick DASH Scoring method, radial volar tilt, radial length, and radial inclination are among the radiological parameters were evaluated.
