title: [The role of posterior bracket plate osteosynthesis in the treatment of compression-extension fractures of the distal end of the radius].
abstract: Osteosynthesis without immobilisation of compression-extension fractures by means of a posterior plate was studied in prospective series with a minimum follow-up of six months (first group: 73 patients) and a minimum follow-up of one year (second group: 63 patients). The clinical results were evaluated and showed several complications (no infection, but reflex sympathetic dystrophy, paresthesia, unsightly scars). The clinical and radiological findings (radio-ulnar index) could improve with several technical devices, now used.
