title: [Complete intra-articular distal radius fractures in young active patients].
abstract: Management of complex intra-articular fractures of the distal radius in young active patients must aim to restore normal anatomy. For optimal planning of the surgical procedure, a thorough analysis of the fracture with appropriate radiological exams and diagnosis of frequently associated lesions are necessary. Surgical management involves use of various types of internal or external fixation. Routine use of standardized analysis tools for these fractures along with prospective follow-up should allow us to define guidelines for each situation in the near future.
