title: Fractures of the bilateral distal radius and scaphoid: a case report.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Bilateral fractures of the distal radius and scaphoid are extremely rare injuries.
  
  
  METHODS
  A patient with bilateral comminuted, displaced distal fractures of the radius and bilateral fractures of the scaphoid was treated via internal fixation of the scaphoid fractures with Herbert screws and internal fixation of the distal radius fractures with locked volar plating.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Rigid internal fixation of distal radius and scaphoid fractures is mandatory to start early active rehabilitation of the wrist without the need for wrist immobilization with a plaster or external skeletal fixation.
