A 28-year-old man sustained a displaced radial styloid fracture. Roentgenograms revealed a significant intra-articular step-off. The Herbert Bone Screw System was used to obtain an anatomic reduction. This method of treatment for a displaced radial styloid fracture has not been previously reported.
