![عکس صفحه اول مقاله: Intramedullary Fixation of Distal Radius Fractures Intramedullary Fixation of Distal Radius Fractures](/preview/png/4070768.png)
Intramedullary fixation has recently received increased enthusiasm as an option for distal radius fracture fixation. Indications for this fracture fixation technique should be limited to predominately displaced extra-articular or simple intra-articular distal radius fractures. Intramedullary fixation permits limited soft tissue dissection and insertion of a low-profile implant that acts as an internal splint. Purported benefits include a familiar fracture fixation technique, less soft tissue irritation, and locked fixed-angle technology. Thorough understanding of the radial and dorsal approaches to the distal radius is a prerequisite. Important aspects of intramedullary fixation of distal radius fractures include proper fracture selection, good fracture reduction, protection of sensory nerves, and avoidance of inadvertent intra-articular screw placement. Relevant surgical anatomy, technique, postoperative care, and a review of complications are presented.
