title: Current concepts in the management of distal radius fractures.
abstract: The treatment of fractures at the distal end of the radius continues to challenge orthopaedic and upper extremity surgeons. As our understanding of the injury mechanism and local anatomy continues to improve, so too have our surgical techniques in helping patients regain functional use of the injured extremity. The purpose of this manuscript is to review the treatment methods available for distal radius fracture management.
