【 摘 要 】

Eigtheen patients with unstable fracture of the distal radius were evaluated. They have undergone open reduction and buttress plate fixation. The average follow-up was 21 months. Radiographies and wrist function were analysed. It was concluded that this technique was good, allowing good functional results.
