title: [Treatment of bending fractures at the distal radius].
abstract: This paper deals with problems and therapeutic principles of Smith-fractures. Fractures type II and III by Thomas are treated with T-plate osteosynthesis on principle. Methods are shown and the follow up of 15 surgically treated patients is reported. The good results in comparison with non operative treatment speak in favour of this method.
