title: [Treatment of distal radius extra-articular malunion in young active patients].
abstract: Malunion is a common complication of distal radius fractures despite new fixation devices. The authors discuss the surgical indications, preoperative management and the various surgical techniques used to treat distal radius extra-articular malunion, specifically in active young subjects. The treatment goals in this population group are anatomical restoration of the distal radius and distal radioulnar joint, short immobilization period, quick functional recovery and stable results over time, consistent with high functional demands.
