| Résumé | Extra-articular distal radius fractures in active elderly patients are common and predominantly affect females. The high number of patients lost to follow-up compromises the evaluation of outcomes. Treatment aims to control the comminution and allow fast recovery of pre-injury activity levels. Fixation with volar locking plates is the gold standard. The role of bone substitutes in this type of injury is unclear. (C) 2016 Published by Elsevier Masson SAS on behalf of SFCM. |
