The arthroscopic management of intra-articular distal radius fractures.
Hand Surgery 2000 December
Intra-operative arthroscopy and fluoroscopy provide improved visualisation and guide the restoration of intra-articular distal radial fractures while minimising the operative dissection required for their stabilisation. Radial styloid fractures, distal radial fractures with dorsal, palmar or combined ulnar-sided "die punch" fragments, palmar and dorsal Barton's fractures, and various three- and four-part intra-articular fractures without significant bone loss or defect are especially suited for this technique. The experienced arthroscopist may wish to apply the technique to more severely comminuted intra-articular fractures. Bone defects may be approached through a limited dorsal incision traversing the 3rd dorsal wrist compartment. Arthroscopy and fluoroscopy may be used adjunctively to assess fracture reduction and fixation. Arthoscopy further facilitates initial treatment by allowing direct joint visualisation, debridement, the removal of small free intra-articular fragments, and the recognition and early treatment of wrist ligament injuries, particularly those not appreciated by X-ray evaluation
