[External fixation of comminuted fractures of the distal extremity of the radius : technical details (author's transl)].
Experience gained by the authors in the use of external metacarpo-radial fixation for compound fractures of the lower extremity of the radius has led to their proposal of a technique that is less aggressive to the soft tissues. They employ a systematic approach to the radius and second metacarpal, followed by the use of atraumatic plates applied by means of a simple screw.
