title: The long-term outcome following Darrach's procedure for complications of fractures of the distal radius.
abstract: The long-term results of 31 Darrach's procedures performed for pain or limitation of movement following fractures involving the distal end of the radius are presented. Movements of the wrist and forearm were considerably improved and pain was relieved. Strength of grip did not return to normal, although patients were not much troubled by this.
