Abstract
Fractures of distal radius appear to have a bimodal distribution, with an older group suffering both high energy and low energy traumas, and a younger group suffering comparatively high energy damage to the upper extremities. In older age groups, more women are affected than men. After obtaining approval and clearance from the institutional ethics committee, the patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria will be enrolled for the study after obtaining informed consent. After pre anesthesia work up, patients will be operated with Dorsal Distraction Plating. Follow up at 4 weeks, after implant removal, the mean wrist joint flexion was 36.0±5.2 degrees, which increased to 64.8±11.4 degrees by 36 weeks. This improvement was statistically significant (p<0.001) and indicates a favorable trajectory in wrist function. Similarly, wrist dorsi flexion, supination and pronation showed substantial gains, with the mean values increasing significantly from 4 weeks‐36 weeks.
