title: Arthroscopic assisted internal fixation of volar intraarticular wrist fractures.
abstract: Open reduction internal fixation of displaced volar intraarticular distal radius fractures traditionally require sacrificing the volar ligaments to visualize the articular surface. We present a modification of standard arthroscopy that facilitates visualization of the radiocarpal joint while preserving these ligaments.
