title: [Radiologic diagnosis following compound fracture of the distal radius with special reference to computed tomography].
abstract: After complicated distal radius fractures with persistent symptoms, a variety of radiological methods may be indicated, including plain films, magnification views, examination under stress and arthrography. CT accurately differentiates abnormalities of the distal radio-ulnar joint and aids in deciding on surgical treatment. Demonstration of degenerative changes and of subluxations is much more satisfactory in the third plane, since there is no superimposition.
