Distal radius fracture fixation

Distal radius fracture fixation is a surgical procedure to repair a broken distal radius, the part of the forearm bone near the wrist. It is one of the most common fractures, often caused by falls onto an outstretched hand. Fixation aims to restore the bone's alignment, stability, and function.
