[Sequelae and evaluation after distal radius fractures].
The sequela of fractures of the distal radius show the same variety as the fracture models themselves, depending on conservative or operative repositioning. The most frequent disadvantages are deviation of the bone axis, depression of the basis of the radius, steps in the cartilage plain and rough deformity. Most important are the arthrotic changes in the joint, such as entrapment and compression neuropathies. The sequela of fractures in children, adults and the aged differ. The purpose of the expert appraisal is not only to assess the damages after fracture but also to give new proposals for further therapy.
