Intra-Articular Fractures of the Distal Radius: A Prospective Randomised Controlled Trial Comparing Static Bridging and Dynamic Non-Bridging External Fixation

Abstract

This prospective randomized trial compared a non-bridging external fixator with a bridging external fixator system for the treatment of severe comminuted intra-articular fractures of the distal radius. The results did not demonstrate a statistically significant difference in the radiological and clinical outcomes achieved with these two treatments.
